A day

The morning light spilled across the floor, reaching the tips of his eyelashes. I watched the rise and fall of his chest, his face still resembling a smile. I longed to touch his hair, it was just hours ago that I ran my fingers through them, a memory that warmed my heart and lit a smile on my face. I hurried from where I sat watching him near the window to his side, tracing his body with mine. My hand rested on his bare chest, and he turned to pull me in. His arms tightened around me sending shivers up my spine. He kissed the top of my head, his lips unmoving. I closed my eyes, hearing his every heartbeat answer to my own.

The words floated in the air, unspoken yet understood. Stay. Forget everything, just for today.

The world fell away beyond the white covers. We were high above tucked away in a cloud. Maybe sometime we’ll remember to go back, but this moment is ours.
