You’re asleep right now, resting from a long day. I’m awake typing this because I miss you. It sounds funny to say I miss you because I’m laying down right next to you. You’ve only been asleep for 20 minutes, but I miss you already. I miss you as if you’ve gone on a trip, packing a bag and heading somewhere without me. But no, you’re right here my right arm is nestled on your right arm, comforting you (my wife sleeps the best when I’m touching her in some way). I’m laying down on my stomach, and you’re asleep on your back, I can feel the warmth of your beautiful body. You are five inches from me, but it seems as if we are far away from each other. I wish you were up right now. So we could continue talking. About nothing in particular but, also everything. Cascading into any and every topic, one after another. Just as a stream trickles into a river. Allowing that river of dialog to spill into an ocean-sized conversation that could last for hours. It’s funny, I wish you were up, so I could tell you that I love you. Not for any reason, just because I do. I’ll soon fall asleep after I say my prayers thinking about you. Thankful just for your presence to be able to share the bed with a woman as lovely as you.

It’s selfish but, I wish you were up right now.

“Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31:10-11‬ ‭NLT‬‬
