Part II
10 - My thumb traces the line of your brows, lightly feeling the short hairs. When you are awake and at work, the path I now trace, normally contains lines of stress and worry. They've disappeared in sleep and you look so at peace.
9 - You let out a deep breath, a content sigh and some power beyond my control closes my eyes.
8 - I feel your fingers on my hand, soft and light. Your touch still electrifies me and my eyes pop open.
7 - Your hand draws mine down your face. Your touch is so light, and the gentleness of your motions and the feel of your face beneath my hands causes me to shiver. My eyes close once again. The wonderful sense of touch lets me know my fingers have passed lightly over your eyelids and your nose. Your face is just as beautiful in touch as it is in sight.
6 - I feel your lips, cool and wet, land softly on my palm and it is in these tender moments of yours, I begin to understand how deeply I love you.
5 - My eyes open and are met by a sea of blue. My thumb wanders over your lips as I glance momentarily at them before returning my gaze to your eyes.
4 - You're staring into me with an intensity that still catches me off guard. I feel as though the butterflies mounted on your walls have come alive and have settled in my stomach.
3 - Your hand leaves mine and begins to slide, down my arm…
2 - To my elbow, brushing along my side before finally settling on my waist.
1 - You smile and shift closer. I feel your warmth along my front. Your hand applies slight pressure to my back, like a dancer leading his partner and conveying his desires.
0 - I instinctually shift closer and cuddle into you. My face falls into your shoulder, as I allow your arms to come around me and enclose me. This is all new and extremely fragile but it is at moments like this where the delicate state of it all doesn't worry me. You are awake, and in your arms, I am home.
