Peace of Mind

I awoke contented. The feel of his warmth next to me did that. Waking up to his scent swirling around my head always made me happy. I turned towards him, admiring the gentle slopes of his face, the slender length of his nose, and the way his hair fell over his eyes. I smiled, as my eyes traveled from his face to his thin lips. I love the way he placed them as he slept. It was as though he was about to say something, but was stopped by a sudden thought. An important thought, maybe.
I reached over and brushed the dark brown locks from his eyes. He stirred, and I hesitantly pulled my hand away. He smiled, a small sound emitting from him. His arm reached towards me, and I gladly sank into him. I breathed deeply, hearing the beat of his heart as my head found a comfortable spot on his bare chest. I closed my eyes, as my arms snaked around his waist. He held me closer.
