lay beside me in the illumination
of our alarm clock
set to go off in 4 hours
no sleep was obtained
but we feel rested
lay your hand on my stomach
and breathe in our scent
i want to feel
your soft breath
on my neck
as you sigh
when realization
kicks in that we
cant stay this way forever;
my head on your chest
thoughts reduced to
the slow thud of your heart
we're alive
perfectly alive
and together
perfectly living
ignore this
