The Warmth of You Beside Me
There’s a particular kind of peace in falling asleep next to her, her breathing slowing before mine does. This poem is about that plain, unremarkable comfort that somehow ends up meaning everything.
When we sit on the couch and your head rests
on my chest, the warmth of
your body surrounds me
like a wildfire.
The scent of your freshly
bathed hair
fills the room in
beautiful incents.
In the rhythmic beats
of my heart,
your head
rises and falls,
and the lids to my eyes
slowly descend into a
deep sleep.
