I couldn’t move when the feeling subsided; I could only lay staring at you with heavy eyelids and a growling stomach, unclear of what had just happened. Never before had I felt something so deeply without being invaded, without the surface being broken by hard things like fingers and penises. Never before had simple breath fallen through me the way yours had. You smiled, your face resting in one hand as you lay on your side facing me. I reached for you and you pulled yourself closer to me, cradling me as my entire body hummed softly there in your bed. I breathed you deeply. I don’t remember falling asleep, only whispering that I loved you, and then opening my eyes to a bright morning.
