#515 breathing in, breathing out

on the 3000th night of sharing a bed, he understood
she was asleep, he halfway
and he noticed her breathing, compared hers to his own
as she exhaled, his chest expanded
as his chest deflated, she inhaled
they were perfect opposites, existing in synchronicity
he thought of her excitable personality
of his calm demeanor
he thought of how much she liked parties and social events
of how much he loved staying at home with a good book
perfect opposites, existing in synchronicity
