they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day
but it's not this bowl of special K
and this cup of coffee
that give me energy
for the troubles
awaiting me today

it's your sleepy eyes
gazing at mine
and the way
you tap your
coffee cup
it's the little
jokes you muster
despite how early
you had to wake up

it's your smile,
the one that makes me
want to stay awhile,
and the lingering
goodbye hug

i think if i could
have breakfast with you
every single day
no day could
ever be that bad,
no sky could be too gray
