How much I long to fall asleep with you. Absorbing your warmth, listening to your heartbeat. I want to see if the skin on your stomach is soft, and I want to map out your rib bones and see what your collarbones taste like. I want to run my fingertips over the long string of pearls on your back. I want to kiss the little dimples on either side of the base of your spine. How envious I am of your sheets, who get to wrap around you every night. And your bed, who gets to cradle you in your sleep.
