The sun breaks through
the window like a thief
You sit and brush the night
from your tangled hair
I watch each movement
so familiar
I wonder at your beauty
and how it never grows old
As my my mind wanders
to the night before
The way you looked
As i walked through the door
So beautiful, so unaware
You are preparing for your day
You will kiss me goodbye
go get coffee, do hot yoga, and run
all before your day really begins
Once you leave i will shower
get the newspaper,
make myself comfortable
And brush the dogs coat
Later I’ll head to my
favorite watering hole
To pontificate life and death
with people i hardly know
The stories will be funny or sad
The little stork like lady
will tell the same story she always does
The stale scent of yesterday’s *****
still coursing out her every pore
I will put money in the jukebox
And laugh at all the same places
The usual crew of derelicts
will slide in just after noon
We’ll all shake hands
and do that manly hug thing
I’ll order the first round
from Zach the bartender
Who is never happy
and always lets you know
I’ll nod my head like i’m listening
We’ll play pool, darts
and drink our day away
I’ll look around and know
once we all had dreams
and if i try hard enough
i can taste the sorrow
But i’ll probably just grin
and daydream about your smile
I’ll head home in time
to beat you there
Grab some flowers
and your favorite meal
light the candle on the table
and chill your favorite wine
You’ll come home
and tell me all about you day
Sparkling with beauty
like always i will get lost in you
And follow your every word
And when i look into your eyes
I know that no one
In this whole world but you
Could ever wear their skin so well
And when you look into mine
Like you always do
You will know
just how much i adore you
That my love for you has no end
There are miles of tongue
in this lonely city
And so many shattered dreams
There’s so much sadness in the world
But this sadness I’ve never known
from the time that we first met
When you leaned in and whispered
What is it that you’re thinking of
And I looked at you and replied
You’re the most beautiful woman
I’ve ever seen
I hope your smile is not a trick
Baby I could look at you forever
Your the reason my heart sings
I pray this lasts a lifetime
Regardless what tomorrow brings
