Dear Bed,

Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for your squishy haven that is cold at first, but unquestionably welcome after a long day. You always know what I need, whether that be a giant chair to watch Netflix in, an envelope of warmth, or a comforting hug.

Your many blankets keep me warm during cold nights. They engulf me up to my neck and in them, I feel safe. You've molded to me where I've formed a little cocoon for my body because that's my favorite spot. Thanks for never letting me go, you will never fail me.

After a scary dream, you've got the side that is safe and away from danger. You provide a barrier between me and the invisible monsters. In the dark, you've got my back. In the early mornings, you provide a soft, lazy start to the day. Sometimes after a long night, you have a tempting pull to keep me there where it's warm. You're never scolding for sleeping in a little extra, or missing my first class of the day. You're not opposed to lazy mornings or the days where I don't move until noon.

You're the best secret keeper. You've seen many nights of shared laughter between sweet friends. You've heard the most private of thoughts. You've been there through the hard conversations. You've provided a cushion beneath an ab workout of giggles. You have the ability to know how to meet ever feeling, every need, every medicine. Sometimes, you're there just for the silence; in the quiet moments between thoughts.

You've hidden food beneath your crevices and suffered through drink spills. Sometimes you serve double duty of a dinner table.

Thank you for catching every tear and holding it close. Thank you for the ability to muffle the anguish in the soft, feathery pillows. You make the best safe haven where there is no judgment, only a comforting and listening ear.

So Bed, thank you for being you. Don't ever change. :)
