3:46 AM
Darkness.
I watch the clock as it changes.
3:47 AM
I lay between them.
My husband to my left and my dog to my right.
The silence is broken by simultaneous snores.
It's like a band - an orchestra.
3:48 AM
I look over at my husband.
He sleeps peacefully.
I run my hands over his back.
"Remember this," I think.
Soon the band will be a solo.
Just me and the dog.
One snore.
At least while I'm awake.
3:49 AM
I close my eyes.
I listen to the music of my family.
I try to imprint it deep into my brain.
This moment.
This sound.
This warmth.
This love.
I smile and I drift off to sleep.
3:50 AM
Three snores.
Cute post, that is exactly how I feel sometimes.
ReplyDeleteMy pug and my hubby snore a lot also!
I like the angle you take on this. I'd never think of snoring as something I'd miss. Fortunately B does not snore. He is a cover hog, however.
