I laid down He laid next to me. My face was in the pillow but I knew he was facing me. I told him he was stupid He told me I was more stupid We battled like this With raspy voices Windpipes drenched in alcohol The lingering aftermath of **** in his lungs I could hear it in his voice. That rasp was the most beautiful sound to me In that moment and in every dream I've ever had of that moment. I just never thought it would be him. Our battle drifted off as he fell asleep His last words were uttered in a raspy daze "You're an idiot..." And with that he put his arm around me, resting his hand on my arm. I felt warm Cradled in the most complicated and innocent moment I've ever experienced. I didn't fall asleep that night
