will i.

[icey]

listening to the rain slowly pitter-pattering at the window
i look only at your fingers entwined with mine
and then i let my eyes close once more.
deep breath.
and another.
your chest rises and falls beside me
i cant see it happen but I know it does.
its that kind of fleeting knowing.
you will breathe.
but will i know it because i am beside you,
or just because i know you are alive?
