Inspired by the rain

Bed Hog

While it rains outside
you keep me warm
under crisp cool sheets.
You’re fast asleep,
and quiet.

You move a little,
to form a diagonal.
I whisper
“You’re hogging the bed.”
You move away silently,
but soon move back
to hold me tighter.

My mind often takes me
to strange situations
so real in my dreams
that I sometimes forget you.
But upon waking,
the simple thought comes.
“You’re real.”

I wonder,
if I’ll ever grow tired
of sharing my sleep with you.
For now, every chance
is a miracle.

I pray for long days,
and many safe nights
in your arms.
While the rain pours outside,
and plays its soft music.
And you
hog the bed.
