Other Way This Time

Last night, I don't think Carol was over the night before. I got pretty mad at her. Let me tell you what happened last night.

At 3:00am, my instinct told me to wake up. I thought of Carol. I remembered that she usually would be waking me up. "You awake?" I asked. Nobody replied. I felt like Carol as I began to shake her awake. "Carol, wake up." I said. She sat up as if she wasn't even tired. She stared at me. I turned the lights on and then immediately dimmed them down, so she was okay. I sat beside her. "You didn't wake me." I said. "Why?" "I'm not allowed." Carol said. "Where'd you hear that?" I asked. "You were mad so I didn't want you to be mad at me again." She said. I hugged her. "Wake me up, please wake me up, sweetie! Okay? Always wake me up." I said. "But why?" She asked. "Because, if you need me, you've got me. It makes me feel a lot better knowing that you need me." I said. She nodded and hugged me. "Do you need anything?" I asked. "No, I'm sleepy." She said. I rocked her for a little bit, and then placed her beside me. I went to sleep and then awoke for the next day.

So, basically last night was the other way around. I woke up Carol needing her, and she woke up for me. We'll always be that way. We can do anything for each other. I know Carol well enough to know that she likes waking me happy and was happy that I did the same thing for her. Thank You Carol for that.
