I woke up to Clayton playing with my hair. I blinked and saw him leaning his head against my hair and looking at me, and the dim morning sun was there.
"Morning, it's 6 o'clock. You can still sleep a little longer."
"I'm awake" I looked into his grey eyes. My heart warms, no matter what happens in front of me. I know I have someone who always holds my hand.
"I want to be here forever, but the world isn't that kind to us." He smiled at me.
"The world says I am loved by many people. What's more I asked for." I closed my eyes. "This time let me hug you." He hugged me, and I closed my eyes. I felt the warmth of his embrace.
I will remember this. I will only be grateful to the universe that I had the opportunity to hear him whisper that he loves me. I understand that life sometimes isn't perfect. I won't be disappointed, and I'm just grateful.
