Breathe... It is simply the most beautiful sound that I hear when I wake up and you're next to me. I watch as you sleep tenderly on my chest, wondering what it is that you are dreaming of. I know that you might dream of him or you might dream of me. It does not really matter, just as long as I get to hear each breath you take because you never know which day will hold the last one.
I don't know if it is obvious how much you mean to me, but being there for you brings me a solace that I've not experienced before. No amount of drinking or smoking could ever bring the peace that you bring, just being with you and watching you. I gently get up so as not to disturb you, for I know that must prepare for the day ahead. It's always that way. Every good thing must come to an end eventually. But some good things have a way of coming back to you.
As it comes time to leave, I'll wake you gently with a kiss on your cheek. You'll slowly stir from your sleep, stretching then looking up at me with that beautiful smile of yours. It's moments like this that make living worth it. The times that you see someone that you deeply care about and have no idea why. No earthly way of explaining your emotions other than the fact that they are there.
While love has not always been kind to me, friendship has been one of its few gifts. I know that you can not always be here and that one day, when he returns, it'll be different. But that is no excuse to not enjoy the time we have for now. Each new day brings something more to discover. Some days are better, some are worse. But to me, so long as you have a friend to hold close, every day can be something special!

This was written to a friend, who for her integrity, I will not name here. She knows who she is, though. After the second break up with Maria, aka Mockingbird, I met someone who was going through some really dark times and needed someone to be there to listen to her and hold her in the absence of the one she was with but who could not be there due to circumstances not in his control.
.... I can say that there are very few things I regret in my past. But this... Being there for someone that I care about... It is far from regret, and in almost all ways, feels redeeming.

To spice things up a bit I read your author's note before your actual work. I think it completely changed what I -may- have thought if I'd read them the other way around. The situation you've described is absolutely beautiful, one I can relate to. You have truly done this theme justice. I love this piece because it's so truthful.
I only have one tiny tiny suggestion, and I'm ashamed to say it - but in my head the last line was said softly in a reflective way. Personally, I'd swap the exclamation mark for a full stop, but that's just me.
