My Significant Other









"It's time to go to bed , Bob" you whisper in my ear. Half asleep as you lay next to me here in bed.

"Just a nano more.." I answer you, as I flip the page of the well worn book I have been reading most of the evening, and try not to laugh as you let out an annoyed sigh. Oh how I must frustrate you sometimes....patience is not your virtue..we both know that.



After a moment I dare to glance over at you. And you meet my eyes. Violet hues challenging me, to argue with you. Oh and how you love to argue.

Ah but not tonight..........................To test my will against your own... I'm afraid it would be a battle I'd be doomed to loose. As I seem fated to loose most verbal conflicts with you.

You give another sigh and I smile setting my book down for the night. Turning the lights off I snuggle down close to you.

I hear you give a triumphed chuckle before wrapping your arms around my waist and pulling me close against your body.

And already I can feel my eyes getting heavy. I feel safe when I am with you, more so then I have felt in a long time. After all we've been through ...safe.



Your eyes are closed now, soft breath tickling my shoulder as you breath. I feel your heart beating against my chest, and I can't help but smile. You look so innocent in sleep.

The troubles and burdens of life are shed from you for a brief time. And you are as you should be carefree, without worry or heartbreak....and as I look upon your face I find myself wondering if you have ever gazed upon me as I dreamt among the stars....I wonder if I looked as peaceful at rest..or as beautiful as you look in the moonlight.

Your green skin shines in the silver rays coming through the window, soft and warm to the touch. Smooth hair, black as the night that surrounds us and so much more inviting . I can't help but let my fingers explore the velvet mane.

"Hmmm..Bob..?"

You stir, and I still myself for the moment , content for now to merely gaze upon you, and not wishing to steal you from your rest.

"Yes...go to sleep" I whisper to you, And you do. Floating back into the world of dreams, you smile. That wonderful smile of yours. It is one you don't give away freely ... I am honored.

You truly are my inspiration. My pillar of strength. So strong and yet....gentle.

My significant other.

Our souls are mirrors to one another. We feel each other's joy and sadness. Understand without words.

Love without restrictions.

I am glad I found you...

"Sleep well" I breath. As I drift off to dream. Perhaps I will join your dream tonight.

"Good night...Bob.." You answer once more ...almost a sigh so soft it could be lost to the wind. But I hear it and I am happy.

Sleep for now for tomorrow will bring new challenges and problems to solve. But we will face them...together as we always have.

"Good night......Matrix , "

My significant other.





The End.
