You want to know what happiness is?

It’s waking up in the middle of the night for no reason,
shifting under the blankets and
feeling the heat of the person next to you.

You turn around and see them
in their most peaceful, innocent, and vulnerable state.

They breathe as though the weight of the world
lays on anyone’s shoulder but their own.

You smile and kiss their face gently
before turning back around and somehow,
an involuntary grin forms on your face.

Just before you drift off to sleep,
you feel an arm wrap around your waist
and you know
it doesn’t get any better than this
.
