Carefully

I carefully carry you up the stairs from the couch.  You sleepily wrap your arms around me and smile up at me through half closed eyes.  I kiss your forehead and lay you down in bed.  I carefully unties your shoes and take them off and then pull the covers up over you.

"Goodnight, love," I say.

You respond with a gentle snore.  I shut off the lights with a smile and shut the door.

Goodnight, love.
