Summary: This is what my dreams are made of.
There are few things in life that make me happier than watching you. Every time we’re on stage, my eyes are as drawn to your form just like those of the audience we so strive to captivate. When you’re cooking, and everything outside the kitchen seems to melt away from the world and leave no problems, I love to watch your face transform into the way you looked when we first met, carefree and excitable and quite like an open book. Whenever you’re reading something in English, words I don’t understand and may never learn but you know them all, I don’t even care what you’re saying so long as I can lay across the couch and listen to you, and watch your lips form each word so carefully and at the same time so naturally. Grace comes so naturally to you.
Even though I spend most of my days watching you, no matter what the activity or perhaps no activity at all, my favorite time to see you while you’re sleeping. I love staring down at your face, highlighted so perfectly by the moonlight streaming in through our bedroom window. I like watching your eyelids flutter as you dream fantastic and colorful things I can never see, and I wouldn’t want to…I’m perfectly content to watch the dreamer: your lips part slightly as you mumble something into the darkness, into my ear, it doesn’t matter since I don’t understand it anyway. Maybe I’m not meant to…no one ever quite understands as much as they want to, or as much as they should. People wouldn’t understand us. In fact, all I can say that I understand for sure is that you are here with me, by some miracle that I’ll never finish thanking God for, and you’re warm against my chest and your hand is in mine, our fingers entwined, and your face is free of all care and all worry. And when you wake, your eyes almost reluctantly giving way to the light of the morning, I’ll be there to watch you always, to see that first smile of the morning and know that this is what my dreams are made of.
