It’s Not Easy Sometimes
by: M-A
There were nights when it wasn't easy to sleep in my apartment on West Racine. Too much light, too much sound... So many distractions. And those four walls that sometimes felt too close. For a breath of a cool winter's breeze I would have given my soul those nights.
Lately, sleep has been a long time coming. But this is insomnia of a different kind. How could I have known during those lonely nights so long ago that *this*, not the north's solitude, is what I craved?
After our love making, Ray holds me tightly until he falls alseep, leaving me to stroke his soft hair, to just hold him to make up for all those nights I spent alone. His even breathing eventually lulls me into a deep, peaceful slumber. There have been no nightmares since that night I first shared Ray's bed.
The nights were once filled with fear and uncertainty. I gaze lovingly at the man I share my life with and find that now those same nights are filled with love and hope.
