her footfalls are barely audible on the carpet
but i know she is there
i can smell her coming in to the room
i heard the water in the shower stop
i could picture her toweling off
putting lotion on her long, smooth legs
i heard the water in the sink turn on
teeth being brushed
a few minutes later
the door opened
and that's when i could smell her
the smell of soap and levendar
she was being quiet
trying not to wake me
but i was already awake
and smiling
and waiting
and as soon as she slipped into the bed beside me
i slipped an arm around her waist
and pulled her close to me
and kissed her softly on her shoulder
and her neck
and her cheek
and finally on her lips
as she wrapped her arms around me
and we fell asleep as one.
