ldt063: Sleeping on the Couch
#063 - [ Sleeping on the Couch ] [ xod ]
She's asleep on the couch.
I don't want her to wake up. At least not yet.
I want to be the one to wake her up. I want to tell her its time for bed.
I want to tell her it's time to go upstairs. Time to go to sleep. Time to end the day and prepare for the beginning of the next.
She always goes to sleep before me, but I don't mind.
She always wakes up before me, but I don't mind. Infact I like it.
I always wake up when she comes upstairs to have a cigarette. I like that. It reminds me that I have something important to wake up for. Some point to my existance. I like it when she wakes me up before i'm ready to awake from my from sleep. I love to see her face, hear her voice saying hello, feel her touch as she sits on the bed near the window ready to smoke a cigarette.
Right now I keep looking towards the couch. I want to make sure she is still sleeping. The last thing I want is for her to wake right now. Half awake, Half asleep, staggering over to me, telling me how she is going upstairs to sleep. It's my job to tell her that, my job to wake her.
Usually she doesn't like sleeping on the couch. Usually she says how she is going upstairs hours before I feel like joining her in sleep. Tonight is different, maybe because she is slightly drunk, or maybe because she is extremely tired. Either way, i'm glad she is down here with me. I'm happy that I will be the one to wake her and tell her that it's time for bed.
I'm happy she's sleeping on the couch.
