I want to lie in a warm embrace once more.

I want...
...to lay with the soft skin of a cheek pressed upon my chest,
...to feel the tickle of hair upon my shoulder,
and kiss their forehead as they sigh and snuggle closer.

I want...
...to feel the rise and fall of a sleeping body,
...to drift away to the rhythm of their breathing,
and wake and gaze upon the innocence of a face untouched by the daytime world.

I want...
...to feel as though my heart is so full it will burst,
...to feel a comfort that cannot be described in a thousand words,
and to know a bond so strong it will never be let go.

I just want to sleep softly once more.
