just imagine
early morning light
tickling in softly
through the windows
warmth slowly
spreading through
the room
sleep-filled thoughts
and notions
all disappear
once you see their
gentle eyes looking
down into yours
you feel this
small ache in the
pit of your stomach
it slowly spreads up
until it's a lump
in your throat
you think
you're star-struck
but rather
you find you simply
cannot breathe
they cup your cheek
brows furrowed
and they ask you
"darling, what's wrong?"
you open your mouth
you try to speak the words
but rather than
ruin the moment
rather than
ruin their happiness
you close your mouth
painfully swallow
down the lump
and offer up a small smile
and hope they do not see
the faint tears in your eyes
