I'll kiss you awake
to the quietness of your room
to the gentle drifting of your mind
to last nights' fading moon
I'll kiss you awake
to watch, you put on your sweater
to your jeans, that cover the warmth
I held the night before
I'll kiss you awake
to the creaking of the stairs
to the warmth of the kitchen
to your ruffled hair
I'll kiss you awake
as you stir your tea
to the presence of me
I'll kiss you awake
to the faint light of dawn
to your eyes
with sleepiness gone
I'll kiss you awake
to the sounds mornings hold
to thoughts, not yet told
I'll kiss you awake
to the silence of the woods
to hear you speak softly
with words you never could
I'll kiss you awake
to your heart, that will bend
to my love, that will never end
to know...
I love you
