I enjoy the night as it falls.
Punctuality. Timings.
The best bed. The best quilt.
You take the window side
I'm pushed the other side.
You take the maximum space
But you never agree.

The quilt is our favorite.
Pink. And blue.
Matching our flavours.
First we sleep with it
And later in the night, on it.
The room is dark.
Like a lion's den.
The curtains are drawn.
No one can even hear us.

You sleep almost immediately.
I take sometime to sleep.
Meantime you snore.
And I wish I'd sleep like you.
I shake you off. You stop.
Immediately.
And the next minute,
it starts again.
I somehow fall asleep.
And I dream of you.

In the middle of the night,
I wake up for loo trips
And I watch you sleep.
Peacefully.
And envy your peace.
All of a sudden, your hand
Falls on me as if
You are looking out for me
And I immediately surrender.
I slid slowly, peacefully
Into a comfortable sleep.
And undoubtedly,
The best.
