I love sleeping next to you in bed at night 
Though my presence seems to be such a burden
I'm ever-appreciatice of the gesture and gift 

The smell of your hair and your skin 
The sound of the air kicking on 
The feel of the breeze from the fan

The sound of an alarm set to pull you away
The tangle of my arms to enare you 
The stubble on your chin, the brush of your lips 
As you groggily recount to me your dreams 

Oh god how I adore hearing your dreams 
And sitting groggily across from you at 
The breakfast table 
Or your desk 
Depending upon the hour 
Or your schedule 
Or my desire to see you succeed 
Bleary-eyed and amazed at how the simple things you 
Do in the morning come across so adroit to me in my sleepiness 

You, the master of mornings
Allowing me into your world
