You get used to sleeping with someone. You learn the feel of their arm around you, the sound of their breathing, the beat of their heart. It doesn’t matter if it’s been once or years, you fall in love with it. Then they go away, back home, to training, deployment, something makes them go so you are left to lay in an empty bed. It hurts, to sleep alone, but it’s worth it. Someday he will be there with you again and in that moment, between awake and asleep, it will feel like he never left.
