I look at his back as he faces the other way
his breathing is steady, regular, his hair is gray
I inch closer to him and breathe in the smell of his skin
he smells like home should smell
I touch him gently - he doesn't move
I inch closer
moulding myself to his sleeping body
I hear my heart beating into his back,
into his muscles, coursing down his veins
I smile sleepily
now I know
I shall sleep
Now I'm happy, I'm content
Now I am me
