A simple man

She was rolling on the bed with her DSlite when I entered the room.
I covered her up nicely with the blanket as I snuggled in with her.
I smiled at her and gave her a light peck on the lips as I opened my book and started reading.

I am a simple man, with a simple dream.

It was rainy heavily outside and the windows started to mist. I closed my book and turned to look at her. She looked so fair and beautiful against the darkness of the night. I couldn't help myself but stay frozen.. mesmerized. She gave a light smack on my head and pouted.

What is it?

I wanted to tell her how much I really loved her. I wanted to tell her how wonderful she looked tonight. I wanted to tell her how amazing it is to look into her eyes and see us in it. I wanted to tell her so many things.

Instead, I just smiled and squinted my eyes, making a face at her.

Want a cup of hot choco?

She nodded.

I cuddled close to her and gave her a tight squeeze before rolling off the bed. I scurried myself towards the kitchen, but not three steps away from the bed, I am already starting to miss the warmth of her body against the chillness of the night.

When I got back, she was no longer there.

She never will be.

I am a simple man, but alas, things are never simple.
