waking up to you doesnt call for alarm
clocks and coffee
it calls for sleepy smiles before the sun is even up
trailing soft kisses across each others skin
feeling
learning
remembering
engraving
every part of the other
its impossible to not be a morning person
when my mornings begin with you
my insomnia isnt so bad if youre the one im next to
you see mornings without you are colder
i wake up slower
my body searches for yours like it knows its you it wants to be next to
and im not saying our bodies have to be entangled
im not saying our hands or our lips need to be all over each other
im just saying your presence feels a lot like safety
feels a lot like something im always searching for
feels a lot like home
so when i say i miss you i mean i miss you
not just your body
or your kisses
or your hands on me
i mean i miss you
and the way you make me feel
i miss how easily i drift off knowing youre near
i miss shaking from my sleep but calmness covering me because youre there
and yes
i love coffee
and ive always loved sun rises
but theres something about slow sunday mornings with you
theres something about feeling you next to me
theres something about you
that makes everything that much more surreal
makes everything that much easier
makes each moment worth remembering
and i may not always believe in a god
but i pray
and i pray
and i pray again
that my mornings will be filled with you
and your sleepy smiles
and your soft kisses
and more of you
because im not sure ill ever find a person or a place that feels more like home than you do
and i definitely dont want to
so i hope theres a god listening
and i hope we make it till the end
because waking up without you is not something i want to get used to
its a dreadful morning
filled with alarm clocks and too sweet coffee
when instead i want the sun to shine through the blinds
and see
you and me
happy
see
you and me
together
see
you and me
every morning
safe and in love
