If I stay up into the wee hours with you, you should feel loved. I don’t mean out and about, laughing and riding a people-high. I mean one-on-one time in those cold, dark, pre-dawn hours.
I certainly spent those hours with Sydney when we were dating, arguing about everything with our nth cups of tea between us, wondering how it got to be 4am when we hadn’t even resolved the fate of the world yet.
But in general, I’m a morning and day person. By 10pm I’m usually mentally wandering toward bed.
Which is why I’m surprised to find myself alert at 4am every day now, quietly cooing to someone that it’s a lovely morning and that the first birds have begun singing. Amazing, simply amazing to me.

Your parents did the same thing with each other (we looked at stars) and our own children. You should feel loved.
