in awe of my husband

We were close, closer than I'd ever thought possible.
I could feel his breath on my cheek,
and I lay very still, afraid I'd pop the bubble on which I rode.

Carefully, oh so carefully, I cut my eyes to the right.
He was really there with me, and I knew it wasn't a dream.

His heart beat rhythmically in his chest,
and I held my breath,
so outstanding ws the reality of my desire.

A tear of joy trickled from my ey, and I smiled beneath it.
How had it happened, this miracle before me?

For I can't remember its evolution--only the wonder of its being.
