waking up to you curled up on my side your shoulders welcoming my tender touches on your skin the dip in your neck where I can leave my kisses hips where for my arms to circle around hair still smothered in the fragrance of last night's shampoo nuzzling into you, I'm welcomed by a mixture of beads of sweat and warmth you shuffle in your position, and turn to face me eyes opened only halfway, still recovering from a dreamlike trance you dare open your mouth to utter a word, but I stop you halfway with a gentle kiss pulling away, your lips are curved into a tiny smile and with the raspiest voice you can gather, you greet me "Good morning" and indeed, that was all I needed to know I had a good day ahead of me
