Gravitational Pull

Gravitational Pull

The crisp, cool air in the room would have set in a chill on my skin at any other time, but you were lying next to me.
Everything was so still and quiet that my voice seemed foreign as I read to you.
When the story ended, we laid in the silence.
Never was there a moment when I felt more at peace.
I wondered at your presence close to me and found myself curious to know what you were thinking.
Happy contentment washed over me like a blanket.
Soon, I found myself slipping into a restful sleep.
The world itself and time felt as if it had stopped in its tracks.
When I woke up, I reached out for you and found that you were no longer with me.
In an instant, my world was spinning once again.
