Routines are a big part of his life as an army man. He wakes up at the same time every single day, without fail. Loving you has always been a vital part of his routine. You, God—you.

You’re everything in his eyes, you always have been. You’re his sun and his moon and the one and only thing he loves.

The alarm beeps—6:00am. Time for him to get up. He gets out of bed as quietly and carefully as he can so as not to wake you up, but he stops for a moment to kiss your forehead before heading to the kitchen to make you coffee. His favourite part of the morning is waking you up by bringing you coffee.

He gently taps your shoulder and places the cup on the nightstand next to you, before slipping back into bed. “You awake, sugar?” He mutters gently in his morning voice, running his hand through your hair.
