Today was an exceptional day.
You were having trouble falling asleep since you were alone and I was still up because I was studying (for the most part). So instead of sleeping, you picked me up at my house around 4:30am and we grabbed a quick breakfast at a place near here. I could tell you didn’t want to go home yet (and quite honestly, I didn’t want you to either), so we went to my house and chilled. We laid around and your arm was around me and we talked and eventually drifted off to sleep. I got up a little while later and moved to my bed so that if my mom or brothers found us, it wouldn’t look so bad. (Looking back on it now, I wish I would’ve stayed in your arms.)
I got up again a few hours later and saw that your were still asleep. (At this point, I went downstairs to tell my mom that you were here so that not too much trouble would ensue. She ended up being okay with it.) I went back up and laid down with you again. When you finally felt up for it, we went downstairs and had breakfast. Eventually, we ended up back on the couch. I was sitting down and you were laying on my lap. Once you got yourself settled in, you said, “This is so nice. I’m okay with this. I wish it could be like this forever.” The things you say to melt my heart.
You fell back asleep and I just sat and played with your hair and your new phone. I tried to get you up multiple times because I knew your mom was expecting you home soon, but each time, you’d convince me to let you sleep for a few more minutes. You said, “It’s so seldom we get to spend time like this. Just let it be.” Once in a while, you’d suddenly grab my arm as if to make sure I was still there. Once your hand found my arm, you’d smile and then go back to peacefully sleeping.
It was, to say the least, a great morning.
