there is something so uplifting
about watching the sun rise
its rays kissing the clouds
so delicately
warm hues peeking over the east horizon
pouring light into our mornings
and i find solace within the knowledge
that i am fortunate enough
to be sharing this same light with you
it’s exciting
to see the sun bloom
like a flower in spring
each day brings
a different blossom,
a second chance.
today, however
lethargy had stolen away my will
to watch the sky give birth to the day
however i thought about you
and about how i wanted to lay there
in those moments, inimitable
with our hands clasped so tightly
as your thumb dragged itself gently
across the back of my hand
as we breathed in sync
as my hair tickled your neck
how your laughed filled my hair
and then filled my heart
with a happiness i’ve never known before
unforeseen joy
your voice delighting my ears
like music
our hearts playing in tune
yes, i thought about these things
and i received the same feeling
i would’ve gotten
had i watched the sun rise
a thousand times.
