Sleep

He picked her up in his arms, the woman with tousled hair who had fallen asleep on the couch watching the movie with him. Her chaotic form, tousled hair half on her face half falling to the floor. She wrapped her arms around his neck in her sleep as he carried her to the bed. As he laid her on the bed she stirred like a baby with a disturbed sleep. 'Sssshhh' he petted her on the head, removing the hair that had fallen onto her face. He pulled the blanket halway up her so that she wouldnt feel cold around her legs, since she was wearing only cotton shorts. He got in next to her switched on the night lamp to read the book. she curled up around him, hugging him at the waist and a leg over his. He rubbed her back with his free hand, bent down to kiss her on the head. He like watching her fall asleep, she looked as innocent as a newborn baby, as royal as a spoilt brat and as pretty as a fairy all at the same time.

It's so easy to watch the other sleep. But what really .. counts.. if the two can sleep. At the same time... Somehow, that never happened... I want to be able to sleep. Really sleep. Be put to sleep. But that.. just..
