it was daybreak  
you slept through your alarm as usual
my mind never finds the time
to sleep
I lay in bed with you for
as long as I can be still
in the early morning
I get up and wander around the house
enjoying the still before the busy takes over
when I know you will be waking soon
I put on the coffee and
come back to lay beside you
even in your sleep you feel
my presence and immediately turn over
to hold me
face to face I can feel your breath
and mine mingling in the cold morning
air
you love me
sometimes I doubt you with your
cruel words and alcohol inspired
accusations
but every night you whisper to me
that you never want to be without me
and I remember when you were lying
on top of me on the floor in my room
and you told me
we have always been together
for every lifetime we've lived
