Edgar Allan Poe

"Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?"

That's a mighty fine question and to be honest I'm not sure of the answer, I used to think I was but now...................

I woke up at about 3.45 this morning, I was lay on my back and my boyfriend was kind of lay across me; his left leg was straddled in between my legs, his left arm was resting over my chest and his head was resting on my shoulder. He was asleep on his side, right up against me and over me - I turned my head to the side and his face was right up against mine; I could feel him breathing so gently, he looked so peaceful, so angelic and so beautiful. I couldn't really move without disturbing him and I didn't want to move; I was just enraptured within the moment, there was nowhere else I wanted to be.

I've never felt so close to anyone, ever before in my life than at that moment; hand on heart that's nothing but the truth. To find my baby snuggled up into my body, using it like a pillow and fast asleep without a care in the world, it just meant everything to me. All the love, comfort and trust I feel for him was captured in that moment because to me I knew he was so at ease with me, he wanted to be close to me and to fall asleep whilst holding me. I just felt so loved, so wanted and so safe and secure - it was like nothing else I've ever experienced; and to be honest I imagine it's what the majority of us crave in life, my life is no different. I held his body with my free arm and drifted off to sleep again...............

It's been on my mind all day today, those fleeting silent moments from the early hours of this morning etched into my mind. I shouldn't have been awake at that time of day, I don't know why I woke up at such an early hour and maybe I didn't. Perhaps it was all just a dream within a dream, I mean life cannot be this beautiful; then again each time I look at my baby...........
