Sleeping and Reality

by BeyondTheKilljoy

This is another poem from Kurosaki's POV. It's when Teru first gets him back and she makes him sleep with her. This is how he feels after she falls asleep.

Your hands hold mine to your sleeping face

I can't move, so I'm going to have to stay

Here and lay next to you tonight when I sleep

I should be aggravated that you had tricked me

But I actually wanted to stay in this bed with you

And now I can and I don't have to feel guilty

I slip to the other side of you, so I can relax…somewhat

My hand is still on your soft peaceful face

I try to keep the covers in between us but I shiver too much

Could I get underneath them without moving my hand?

I do so successfully and then I feel like a pervert

But looking at the calm expression you have I don't mind

Do you still not realize…how I feel…?

My princess, could you learn to love your faithful servant?

Could this special night turn into every night?

You suddenly shift, turning towards me

My hand slips to your neck as you release it

Pulling your body close to mine by grabbing my shirt

I put my hands over your back, carefully holding your soft waist

I barely breathe as your head lies gently on my chest

Can this be possible…when you are awake?

Sleepiness is clouding my brain, so I can't think of questions

I kiss your silky hair, too tired to fight the simple longing

My arms tighten around you and I pull you closer

I want to feel every inch of your skin on mine

I let the outline of you on me take me to sleep
