Sleep.

He wraps his arms around her small, fragile waist,

A very light blush plays across her cheeks.

As he carries her off to the bed,

Her eyes glow as she peers at him.

He lovingly sets her down,

And kisses her forehead.

As she rubs his cheek

Her eyes slip shut.

Her hand falls;

He smiles.

Sleep.
