I remember the first time I feel asleep on your shoulder,
You came to visit me, having been in a town that was foreign to you though still near enough to your home, you asked me to come pick you up for fear of what might happen if you came to me alone,
I remember having awful sleep at the time, though I promised you I would be there when you needed me,
I stayed up that night, a mix of my nocturnal habits and the longing to see you made me feel legions of tiny little fireworks beneath my skin,
I remember having tried to force myself asleep, not wanting to disappoint you,
Eventually, I knocked on the doors of sleep and demanded respite, though by then, birds were announcing their presence outside my window
I remember rushing down to your apartment, imagining the scowl on your face and chiding myself for my mistake,
You sounded hurt as we spoke over the phone, I had broken the promise I had made to you and desperately wanted to remain in your good graces
I remember arriving at your gate, watching you walk out with your arms crossed and your lips pursed,
All my anxieties melted when I saw you, I offered you a hug and you accepted it,
I remember feeling your smile as we kissed, you tried to pretend to still be upset,
Your expression betrayed you as it often did, you were many things but subtle was not one of them,
I remember holding your hand as I guided you into our taxi, whispering “i love you”’s and “i’m sorry”’s,
The safety of your company being more than plenty to invite sleep to join us in the back of that small car, an uninvited guest,
I remember falling asleep at your shoulder, holding your hand tightly as I tried to maintain conversation,
You whispered to me “You can take a nap, hon. I’m here.” Sleep and I finding your words agreeable and carrying on with our affairs,
I remember so many tiny little moments with you, each equally precious,
I think I will always remember how much I love you.
