It was late.
Both of us were in my bed.
My dog was asleep at out feet.
We were watching YouTube videos,
mostly John & Hank Green talking to each other.
I laughed at some joke
and I looked at you.
You were asleep,
but I could feel your heartbeat
in our clenched hands,
gripping so hard,
like our lives depended on it.
I knew then,
I could never love you more.
Love you.
Mean it.
