Go Back to Sleep...

I wrapped myself around him late last night, and just held onto him. I remember burying my face into his neck and just breathing him in... I sighed and wiggled against him, finding my place against his chest.
I felt him shudder and then a tear landed on my cheek and rolled down onto my throat.

I just laid still, wondering if I was the one crying.

I realized that He was.

My entire body became engulfed with this feeling I’ve never felt and I pulled myself from him, moving slightly so that I was the one holding him; my fingers playing in his hair, rubbing his head softly... "Dahling, what's wrong?"

My voice cracked and I couldn't remember the last time I'd seen him emotional over anything at all; and so out of place?
I have never... in my life- experienced a grown man of his stature; cry and spill his everlasting will to me.

He is not "mushy", he has a slight sensitive side, I am not overwhelmed by him.

But last night, when I am holding him in my arms... he tells me that his love for me continues to grow every moment, that I would never understand the degree in which I mean to him, that he wants to be the only man to ever hold and kiss me, to cherish me, to wipe my tears, to make everything better...

I was blown away.

What brought this on, I am not sure.

All I know is that I want to forget everything about my past; forget memories of past relationships, forget words spoken i never meant, to forgotten past times that I wish never happened...

I want to be everything to him that he deserves- and it took a grown man to turn to mush in my arms, to make me realize that i can be loved and trusted, and treated right.

Let's not allow this to be cliché.
