Empty bed

Today my husband came home from work at 6:30 a.m. He needed to work overtime because of an important project they have to finish. For the past 3 years that we have been married it was the first time I slept without him by my side. Although the kids were with me but I felt like the bed was empty without him. I guess I have gotten used to hugging him when we go to sleep like a soft pillow. It's just been three years, but life has tremendously changed for me. I remember the first few weeks that we were together, I was still adjusting to having to share my bed with this guy, since I was living alone when I was still single. But now, to my surprise I have practically embraced myself to the comforting scent of his cologne and the smooth texture of his skin rubbing against mine.

I thought I wouldnt fall asleep that night but I was too tired from work. It was already 1 am when I got home and the weather was cold. The kids were asleep so I tip-toed my way to my room. Took a shower and stood infront of my empty bed. It was too big for me alone that night.

I slowly opened my eyes because I felt like someone was calling my name. Was it a dream or the alarm but when I managed to clear my eyes I saw my husband gazing at me, I smiled back at him then I said "Hi!" and he said "goodmorning". I heard him laughing at me probably because of how silly I looked that very moment but the sight of him by my side made me really happy because he was home safe, with us.
