Kai fell asleep in my arms again tonight. I always found solace in the quiet moments like these, where the world seemed to fade away and it was just him and me. His steady breathing against my chest, his soft hair brushing against my fingertips as I absentmindedly stroked it.
I never used to be a fan of physical touch, but Kai was different. There was something about the way he held me that made all the anxiety melt away, even if just for a moment. It's funny how someone's presence can have such a profound effect on you.
Insomnia has been hitting hard lately, keeping me up at odd hours of the night when everyone else is fast asleep. But having Kai cuddled into me like this somehow makes things feel lighter, more bearable.
He doesn't know it, but these quiet moments mean everything to me. They're a reminder that despite all the chaos and noise in this world, there are still pockets of peace to be found if you look hard enough.
As I watch him sleep soundly beside me, I can't help but feel grateful for his presence in my life. He may not understand everything that goes on inside my head - heck sometimes even I don't understand it - but he accepts me for who I am without question or judgment.
So here we are now: two broken souls finding comfort in each other's embrace amidst our own personal storms. And maybe that's all we really need right now - just each other and some cuddles to make everything seem okay again.
It’s getting late now and Kai shows no signs of waking up anytime soon so maybe...maybe tonight will be one of those rare nights where sleep comes easy for both of us.
