Love in the night

I couldn’t help but feel so overcome with gratitude even in the midst of fever & pain. I was uncomfortable & couldn’t sleep. But there he was beside me, waking every so often to check on me. Even in his sleep state, he reaches his arm over to find my hand; to hold me; to comfort; to assure.

Most often we think of love in the night at sensual pleasure but I also experience it in the quiet sounds of 3am when my sleeping man checks on me.
