To feel content.

"What more could you possibly ask for?" said my boyfriend as he smiled at my grumpy face. I hate that time can move so fast when I'm with him. I'd never be ready to wave him another goodbye and wait until I see him again next week(s).

We went out twice this week. It's rare because we usually only had Saturday. Now we had the entire weekend. Though, I still feel we haven't got enough time together. Problem is, we know there will never be enough time.

I feel safe with him. And I crave for more time together. "What more could I possibly ask for?" said I. "Time. It's always time," I mumbled. He turned to me and said, "Can't you see? We're lucky. For the first time in a while we had Saturday and Sunday. It's more than any other couple could have amidst this pandemic."

He's right. He can be so content most of the time. It's one of his qualities that I value. When he said we're lucky, it moved me. 'Cause yes, we are. And I feel so lucky that I still can spend my time with him. By physically be with him is more than anything in this tragic time. What more could I ask for?

I don't know. I'd be selfish if I'd still demand some more time. While we can't have it all, we can try to seize what we have in hands. As long as I still have him around, it's more than enough. At least for now. I am both lucky and loved. 

And it should be enough. 
I couldn't ask for more.
I shouldn't ask for more.
