Last night, she asked me about that poem that I wrote her back on the 19th (a significant anniversary in our relationship). She asked if I could read it to her. I was hesitant at first, but then decided "why not". She seemed genuine and sincere about it. She then said, "maybe I should read it so you don't cry". She began to read it, and I can tell that my words touched her. After finishing, she said, "this is a very nice poem. You have a gift". I simply looked into her eyes and smiled. We then went upstairs to get the kids ready for bed.
This morning, my wife came into our bedroom (where I was sleeping alone), saw that I started to awake, and then laid herself down on the bed, saying "I'm so tired. I didn't sleep well".
This was the first time in over a month that she voluntarily laid on our bed with me in it. Between the poem last night, and now this, thoughts started creeping into my head again about the possibility of her warming up to me. I am trying not to read into her body language too much (i.e. mind reading), but it can be very tempting!
I so very much wanted to reach over, and hold her hand, or something similar. I did not. I just looked into her eyes for a few seconds, and then got up, saying "I have to get ready for work."
Being put into that somewhat uncomfortable situation, I think I came out with a small victory.
