I wish that I could wake you, skin to skin
I know you think you see the word I’ll use
But words won’t be the way that I’ll begin
To wake you. There are other ways to choose
I watch you, as your dreams envelope mine
I love the way you dream of us; it’s real
I sit and watch you watching me, supine
I know your hand is placed where you can feel
My heart. My heart belongs to you; it beats
In sync with your compassion and your care
Your presence is the beauty which completes
The meaning of my life; you take me there
If happiness and joy can come like this
I’ll wake you to receive my morning kiss.
