Bliss...

The loud knock on the door was strong and steady. It was him.
I opened the door with a big smile to see him smiling right back at me- red roses in his hand.
He puts his bags down and I leap into his arms for a hug...one week in the making.
It felt so right.

He slides into his spot on the bed and moves over to make room for me.
I take my spot, curled up next to him; my head resting on his chest.
His hand reaches over and entwines with mine and our breathing slows to match one another.
And then he says what my heart has feeling...

"I honestly am falling in love with you."

I tilt my head up to look him in the eye. I can see him staring back at me through the faint light streaming in from outside.

He kisses me on my forehead and together, we fall asleep.
