this morning #816.

this morning, the beautiful human by my side had tried so hard to love me but i was 1000% certain that it just wasn’t working. i put my hand on her shoulder & pulled her in closer, hoping that holding her tight might fix things. she only stirred for a brief moment & then her body returned to the regular rise & fall of the tail end of another good night’s sleep. i couldn’t recall the last time i’d woke up feeling as well-rested as she looked right now. perhaps she’d made her peace with these living conditions & was no longer worried about how things were between us. perhaps she was just sleeping like any other human. perhaps i just had to focus on MY happiness & stop worrying so much about hers.
