I breathe in the smell of morning. My eyelashes flutter, reluctant to open and acknowledge that I am awake, I am here. The bed is warm, and comfortable, in its way. It seems to wrap me up, folding and bending to accommodate my every need. I never want to leave the safety of this bed. Once again I breathe in deeply. And it is then that I realise. I’m not alone.

This is why the bed is so comfortable. This is why I never want to leave. I roll over to look at you. You’re so peaceful, as calm and confident in sleep, as you are when you’re awake. Your presence makes me smile.

I twist so my body is pressed against yours. Instinctively our legs intertwine. Your arm unconsciously drapes itself around my shoulders, just as my head unconsciously finds the right place on your shoulder. You whisper to me “Good morning, gorgeous.” I whisper back, “Good morning.” And we close our eyes, again off to the sweet land of slumber.

And it is in this bed, in your arms, in this moment, that I feel safe.
It's about love.

very nice - so articulate with the feel. Love the way the words take you back to what you describe
