Day 9: Open & Closed.

I haven’t had a chance to sit down and really get mushy today, so I figured I’d start now. I’m one of those guys who are kept awake by his thoughts most of the night. It’s been that way for over a decade. That is, until she came along. When we first got into our relationship, I was a typical insomniac. I had been for many years, what’s to change it now? Funny thing, though: I’ve slept like a baby within these past six or seven months. Her presence makes all of the difference. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I know that if I’m having a night where I can’t sleep, I can just wake her up to vent about anything. She’s really hard to keep awake, though! It’s seriously the cutest thing ever. She reminds me of a kid who keeps closing his or her eyes when they’re sleepy. You just know she’s tired. I don’t try to keep her up, though. I love it when she sleeps. She takes the softest breaths. It’s peaceful.

Sometimes I wonder what she’s dreaming about. Is it a good dream? I know when she’s having a nightmare because she’s really vocal in her sleep. I’m more intrigued by her silent nights. So, I try to think positive thoughts in hope that they’ll translate into her dreams. I can feel her curling up and getting closer to me when I’m thinking about our relationship and how I picture our life. Maybe it’s psychosomatic. I definitely wouldn’t have it any other way, though.

I’ll try to follow her lead and have a peaceful sleep as well. Goodnight.
