There's something truly amazing about being able to fall asleep with someone else.
Really. It's romantic. It's sweet. It's comforting. And I've never really felt it before.
I've never really been able to sleep in the same bed with anyone before (unless it was large enough to roll to the other side of). I've been able to lay there but never actually fall asleep.
But last week I slept in a twin size bed several nights in a row with Jairo. And I slept well. Woke up feeling good and warm and fuzzy seeing him next to me.
What is it about falling asleep with someone that feels so intimate?
It wasn't like he held me through the night (although he did hold my hand in his sleep sometimes). Most of it he was just right near me. But rather than his nearness making me feel somewhat claustrophobic like it always has in the past, it made me feel content, safe.
Our living circumstances being what they are, that's not going to happen again any time soon or remotely often. But I guess that's probably a good thing. We're sort of being forced by our living, working, school situations to keep our lives to a certain level of seperateness (to put it incredibly uneloquently).
And that's probably a good thing.
But it was nice.
