Cling Wrap

How fortunate it is to wake up in the middle of the night and remember that lying there in bed with you is someone who is so beautiful and so amazing. Someone who you love so very much. How wonderful it feels to cradle them in your arms and to feel their arms around you. But how to tell them you love them when you're not sure it's what they want to hear? To risk everything to lose it all. To risk it all to gain everything. And so there is silence. An extra unspoken squeeze during a hug. Perhaps a reciprocal look in the silent gazes. Is it possible that too much is being read in that perfect smile? Sigh.
