Good Morning Handsome

When I wake up next to you I will kiss your cheeks gently
And wrap my hand around yours
The hands I held on the first night of the year
That hands that kept me warm and safe
The hands I'll hold when I say I do 
Your hands, the hands of the person I love

When I wake up next to you I will tell you how much I love you
In the bathroom, I'll glance at you as while we brush our teeth
The same way I stole glances in an old barn when we were young
The way I look at you when I can't help but stare
I'll mess up your hair just for you to roll your eyes and have to do it again
But you'll love me just like the way I love you

As we head to work I'll give you your lunch, always with a note to make you smile
I'll kiss you on your way out the door and tell you to drive safe
I'll grin as I watch you leave through my back mirror
When we get home I'll bake cookies as you make tea
Listening to jazz, dancing in the kitchen 
I'll be smiling, the one you somehow love
And think about January 1st, 2019
The day I made the best decision in my life
The decision of choosing you

  • obsessed

    you were obsessed with the taste of my lips
    you loved the smell of my perfume
    you said my eyes were beautiful

    when you left

    i wanted to cut off my lips and give them to you
    i wanted to give you my perfume
  • your view

    you tell me the view is beautiful
    you never want to leave
    you tell me that I would love it

    my shoulders still have bruises
    you used my body as a ladder
    climbing farther and father
    I couldn’t see you anymore
  • earthly pleasures

    maybe one day I will walk the earth again
    bare feet, the mud between my toes
    maybe one day I'll hold your hand again
    pulling you close to me
    maybe one day I will see your face again
    the one who taught me about love
