I wake up,
look at you,
I see everything.
while I linger
on the corners of your mouth
I see the pillars of morning light
and the way your breath
is hypnotic
I see the moment between
dreaming and day
for all it's worth
and I know in my bones
that it's worth holding onto
I see your eyebrows furrow
and remember why
I should burn the letters
that I write when I'm angry
I remember when I saw you
and I couldn't remember
where we'd gotten lost
but my soul sighed with relief
when I found you
I see you
and I see everything

I wake up,
look at you,
I see everything.
while I linger
on the corners of your mouth
I see the pillars of morning light
and the way your breath
is hypnotic
I see the moment between
dreaming and day
for all it's worth
and I know in my bones
that it's worth holding onto
I see your eyebrows furrow
and remember why
I should burn the letters
that I write when I'm angry
I remember when I saw you
and I couldn't remember
where we'd gotten lost
but my soul sighed with relief
when I found you
I see you
and I see everything
