The best ten seconds of my day are when I first wake up.
Bleary eyes and still going on the vapors of my dream.
Because I wake,
with the complete expectation,
that you will be there.
Right beside me,
ready to greet me with a kiss,
and a smile.
Those ten seconds, when I think you're next to me in bed get me through,
the hundreds of other seconds,
That assure me,
you are not.
My first ten seconds are my best.
