PROPENSITY FOR NUZZLES


_____,

You said today that you've been thinking about my snuggles. My uncanny ability to hear the smallest stir of you and to nuzzle into your arms. I lie in wait most mornings, half asleep half awake, taking pleasure in the stillness of you, wanting to stretch out and touch you with my toes, to feel your warmth with any part of me.

I only mention this because I wonder if you know your own propensity for nuzzles. I love when I return to bed after waking in the night to find that you're waiting for me, facing my side, your arm outstretched beneath my pillow. I have never felt safer than when I'm lying in that warm space you've hollowed out for me against your chest, the soft rushing of your breath against my ear.

For me, the quiet comprehension of your naked form lying next to me, and the gentle affection expressed in your touch, that moment in the bed we share carries more love than my heart has ever known.

Sealed with a snuggle
