So Damn Right

Watching the stars tuck you in,

After we stay up way too late,

And your body finally gives in, 

To the depths of the night,

Is one of my favorite things to see and feel.

The final, expansive exhale,

Before your breathing gets steady and shallow-

Watching each and every muscle completely melt into the bed,

And into my arms, and body-

The soft smile that graces your lips as I kiss your forehead,

The little twitches your body makes as you start to dream,

And the heat your body transfers to mine,

As I pull you closer-

I could drown in those moments and be consumed by happiness,

Peace,

Stillness-

Because every moment with you,

Even the ones in the dead of the night,

Feel,

So

Damn

Right.
