He knew when he woke up he'd be alone.
It was always that way. They both had responsibilities that couldn't be pushed aside for long, no matter what they might wish. So he knew he'd never be able to stay very long.
So as he snuggled closer to his lover, sated and comfortable, and began to slowly fall asleep, he focused on the comforting sound of two heart beats, and let his mind drift. He wasn't sad. He knew those hearts beat for him, always.
He knew when he woke up he'd be alone. But he knew he'd be back.
