And so we went to sleep.  I was curled up; restlessly.  I was so self-assured that you’d love me.  As I lay my head quietly on your shoulder, I listened to your breathing.  Your slow inhale, evenly matched with an even slower exhale.  I inhaled your breathing.  I wished to become one with you.  Why not?  Maybe we could be.  All those nights that we just went to sleep… do these mean anything to you?  I know you smile at me.  But I’m not sure if you see me.  Your smiles are whiter than my old warm-up pants, but that doesn’t make them any less real.  I’m on the outside looking in.  It’s an awkward feeling because I’m right here.  My body curled toward yours.  Happiness.  I want to kiss you, just to know how it would feel.  You always said I wasn’t the first girl you loved, and you said that while you loved me there would always be other girls.  I love you.  I love you.  You say you love me, yet you love someone else.  Love me.  Please.  I’ve been waiting for you now.  You’re twenty minutes later than you typically are.  Don’t think this is going to be a new trend of yours.  Because, to be honest, you’re going out of style.  I love you.  I love the way that I’m still awake long after you’ve fallen asleep.  You’re so warm.  I want to be able to run my hands over your arms and to get a smile in response.  Yet by the time I have an opportunity to feel your flesh, you’re always asleep.  So tired from all your other girls.  You’re tried and true.  I’m the girl who hasn’t become real just yet.  But being around your serene, sleeping body makes me happy enough as it is.  Don’t you worry.  You’ll always make me the happiest.
Ted ((*teh-feckerer)) wanted something happy. He got something happy.

I'm satisfied with my new prose thing I've got going on.

i like the honest simple feeling it gives off- none of the exaggerated "poetry" which ends up sounding melodramatic. its decisive and calm -really true. also, nice imagery, its like we're there. :thumbsup: :)
