waking up next to your love, admiring how relaxed her face is when she’s asleep, the sunlight dancing across her delicate features. kissable lips slightly parted, long lashes tickling her cheeks, adorable nose twitching every now and then.

you want to let her rest just a little bit longer, she deserves it, but she looks so beautiful you can’t help yourself and you lean in; brushing your lips against her own, gently, carefully, trying not to disturb her, but she stirs. you can feel the smile that forms on her lips instinctively, before she’s even fully conscious, because it’s just so natural for her to be woken up like this, her body knows it’s you, so used to it after all this time but at the same time she will never get used to it, the way her heart swells with love, the warm and fuzzy feeling spreading through her.

a soft noise escaping her as she begins to wake up, sleepily reaching for you with her arms to pull you closer into her, limbs intertwining under the sheets until it feels like you become one. her soft sigh of disappointment as you pull away, resting your forehead against hers and lazily moving around to find a new, comfortable position that brings you as close as possible. never wanting to leave the comfort that is her, her presence, her scent, her voice, her arms wrapped around you.

knowing you’ll get to do this every morning for the rest of your lives.
