I had forgotten what
it felt like to wake up next to you
to open my eyes and see your beautiful face peacefully asleep
it amazes me to think of how beautiful you look in the morning
like the darkness of the night has rejuvenated you so completely that
you glow
everything about you attracts my gaze
your skin,
your eyes,
your mouth
they’re almost hypnotizing
as if passing on to me their sense of tranquility
this morning I lay there looking at you thinking…
“she couldn’t possibly look any more radiant than she does
now”
