Waking up to love

Looking at you is like sitting in a field of flowers,

so colorful is the light I see in your eyes.

There is nothing that compares to you,

soft skin, radiant smile, gorgeous body.

Each time I wake up next to you I cry inside,

you are like waking up to a dream.

Your little feet touching my legs,

or how you hold my hand close to your heart.

You silhouette my body as you lay there,

mixed together we become one being.

I adore the way you are grouchy when you wake,

knowing that my love can calm your soul.

I love making coffee for you twice as strong,

just the way I like it, so bold and divine.

You make me your snooze button,

to remind you that we get to love again today.

The scent on your body from the night before,

bringing me to the same place we just explored.

You are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen,

there is only perfection in your life.

I love how your hair is attracted to my face,

causing me to itch through the night.

How your breathing makes a song only I can hear,

and the way you turn around just to make sure I am there.

I love how you don’t want to get out of bed,

telling me to close my eyes for just five more minutes.

Hiding your face still makes me smile inside,

because you want to look perfect for me.

The way your breath smells of passion,

allowing me to kiss you again and again.

I love how even in the darkest days you shine,

for your beauty is none like I have ever known.

You grunt when I try to get out of bed,

because you need me to hold on a little while longer.

Most of all what I love about waking up next to you,

I love knowing that I will get to be by your side tonight.

You are the image of beauty, I love you so much.
