the sun will rise slowly over an array of houses,
spreading itself thin over shingled roofs.
a couple will embrace each other,
after spooning the entire night.
today, the sun will be warmer.
it's color will fall on my face, and
i will smile into it.
we will embrace each other,
and unfold our tangled bodies
from a night of (near) stillness.
i will admire the color of your hair.
i feel warmth as sunlight falls on my face.
my eyes are open, and your smell
wraps around my skin.
it is a candied redolence,
and i must kiss you now,
before this urge takes over me.

today is a wonderful day,
amplified by your waking heart.
when you open your eyes,
i will tell you that i love you,
because today,
is our day.
