"It's late in the evening, we should be sleeping right about now. I can hear you breathing, I wonder what you're thinking, right about now.

He looks at me as he wraps his arm around my waist, lightly kissing me on the forehead.

I sigh not from the gesture, but because I know how lonely it will feel the next day when it's all over again.
