My Mornings With You

A coffee in hand

And you on my lap

I take slow sips

Allowing the feeling of warmth to move through me

It gives me more time for my eyes to linger

On the lines, the bumps, the many shapes of you

I still hold my coffee as I grab onto you

The deep scent of my drink lingers

On the places I’ve kissed you

And we have forever for this moment

The world need not disturb
