The morning lays quiet,
I feel you near.
Your breath is shallow,
Body warm.

I wrestle the sheets and
fleeting time I have here.

Your leg overlapping mine.

I check the time, continued plight
Slowly removing my leg from underneath
So you’ll not notice the subtle
Absence of flesh and heat.

Following that moment
I felt true bliss of you and all your being.

My leg now free, regretfully escaping,
Once again became overlapped with yours
As you silently settled your warm
soul atop of me.
