lips cracked and dry
eyes puffy from lack of sleep
hair messy from the tiny bit of shut eye you managed to steal from time's lap
you look like a mess
but I don't care
I probably look worse
but you don't mind
you still look at me
with that precious smile
your eyes aglow with your desires
mine shine back at you
and now you've momentarily forgotten how to tie your shoes
while I'm trying to find you extra mittens
I grab my jacket
you leave yours
so you can have mine.
we dance down the street
and run to the top of the hill
where we can watch the sun rise
we pick the perfect spot
and you look at me
and make puppy eyes
pulling at my jacket
I grunt and pull my left arm out of it's sleeve
so you can slip yours in
so you can stay warm.
as the sun's light starts to shine
and the birds twitter their "good morn"s
you scooch closer
practically sitting on my lap
you lay your head on my shoulder
and grasp my hand in yours
you whisper into the chilly morning air
"it's so beautiful."
I look at you,
the end of your scarf waving in the faint fall breeze
and your hair waving along with it
I smile
and say
"just like you."
