The ‘Married’ Us



He's always reading. Sometimes new, sometimes books he's already read. Knows what to do with technology. Turn and look at him in bed, he has the lamp on and he's scrolling through some chapter on his phone. I fall asleep. Feel a calming hand over my forehead. I smile inside and out. It always helps me sleep and feel all is right with the world. Sometimes I wake after what I feel must have been hours- see him reading - a dim light from his phone lighting up his face softly.
Whenever we speak, any random theory or subject he knows something interesting about it. He will always tell you something that will help you, make you think. I love his aura. There is something higher and positive about it..

He's loving to me, the cat and will tip the delivery boy. Sometimes he'll crack a joke to ease a stressed stranger. He can feel these things. People aren't standing to just provide, "do their job" for him.

The strangest thing.. he will at times say exactly what I'm thinking. He will answer when my question is still unspoken.

I'm not in any trappings of the civilised life. I want to earn, grow - meet my potential mostly. Feel good about growing my brain. Getting sharper. But adventure- the greatest adventure is everyday with him. I'm thrilled to unravel little habits, I'm making memories of conversations, of how the rain leaves the trees greener and how he plays with the cat and sometimes nibbles my ear.
