He lay beside her just as he had done for sixty years, and each year was memorable in its own way. After returning from the nightmares of war, he courted her for a year; her understanding and kindness filled his heart with a deep love he never thought possible.
On the night of their wedding, after the guests had left, they lay together, their bodies igniting with pleasure. Sleep found them embraced, just as they would remain for decades to come.
They raised three children, and as the years passed by, they fell deeper in love. Life took their youth, but it did not diminish their passion for each other. Once again, sleep found them together.
Time softened their memories of youth, but throughout the years, their love never wavered. It grew stronger until the day God took her away in her sleep. Her last feeling was a peaceful one, wrapped in his arms.
Now, he sleeps alone on his side of the bed, reaching for her, but she is only present in his dreams and in the beautiful memories they shared for so long. When he goes to join her, he knows she will be waiting, holding up the covers for him to climb under in their eternal embrace and timeless love.
