Whilst it wasn't originally intended to he used this way, I think it fits very nicely under the "tender" banner.  

After a little begging I'm allowed to post it. I understand her initial apprehension, the closest she's come to blogging is updating her Facebook status. 

The thing I love most about it is the fact that in just a few paragraphs you get to completely understand how someone is feeling.  It blows my mind to think that someone feels that way about me. 

She's a keeper & I'm in the keeping business.

I want to slowly open my eyes, gently blinking as I wake to find your sweetly sleeping face inches from mine.

I want to notice how, in the course of the night, we've only moved inches from where we fell asleep. 

Perhaps we've drifted away from each other at various points, sure, but our unconscious desire to be close leads us to reach out in the night, finding one another with gentle fingertips, defining the curves of our bodies while feeling soft skin beneath. 

I want to lie still for at least a single perfect moment, thinking of nothing else but how lucky I am that you're mine. 

I want to slide my legs between yours while slipping my hand gently over your body. I note how you instinctively slip your arms around me, pulling me closer. 

My head lies on your chest and I close my eyes as I slip sweetly back to sleep, safe in your arms...
