please stay in bed a little longer, love
for all I want is to
to smooth the misplaced strands of hair
and tuck them into bed behind your ear
for my hand to gently cup your face
and then my thumb caress your cheek
shushing the dull ache I know know is there
until finally it disappears
to smile softly into your eyes
before tilting your head down
to kiss your forehead
and then slowly drawing your head to the crook of my neck
for me to set mine atop yours
wrap an arm around your waist
pulling us ever so closer
to which we fall asleep in peace
in our separate worlds
