With the lights off,
Tetsu and I are
already in bed,
our backs barely
touching.
The feeling of lust has
diminished somewhat,
and I close my eyes.
Sleepiness is gradually
welcoming me, eager
for me to rest.
My mind races, and
I try to ignore it.
My death keeps replaying
those terrible flashbacks.
I shudder, and this
causes Tetsu to
move.
Within seconds, he
hugs my small frame,
helping the flashbacks
fade.
I smile and drift into
sleep, enjoying this
simple warmth.
