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.
