Sometimes I don't know how I got so lucky
to have you curled up beside me, wrapped in your arms
but then I remember that this was meant to be
and that you are mine as I am yours.
In the morning, it is like I am still in a dream state
drowsy with sleep and head resting on your chest
hair spread everywhere, legs entangled
as you slowly open your eyes and a good morning kiss.
It is the warmth that comes from being with you,
it is the not needing a sheet even with the fans
blowing cool air over us because our body heat
is enough to make our temperatures just right.
It is the safety and comfort that comes from sleeping
in your t shirt, against the wall, guarded by you
from all evils, all monsters under the bed or demons
in the closet. It is how we love each other.
