Soothing

I lay here

Listening

The sound of him breathing

He's Alive.

His heartbeat thuds.

I am at a shortness of breath

I just want to stay here

Peace

I feel the peace

The peace of him resting

And in these moments my mind is has peace.

No one else to worry about

It's just us

I want to keep him for myself.

Why am I so selfish?

Because I don't want to experience the simple fear of losing him.

Without him,what am I?

And yet I can't savor the moment.

I worry

"What will happen next if you don't mind me asking."

I need to know!

Yet in this moment

Laying here with him

I finally feel

Peace.
