There is nowhere else I'd rather be
Than trying to shake off sleepiness,
Slowly rising from the depths of dreams
Not dreamed long enough,
In a bed that is warm and content
While you're in it.

But I watch you force morning into the night,
Stealing precious last moments
Before you absolutely must rise.
You leave me floating in sleepy limbo
As I listen to the sounds of you in the house,
Wishing you back to my side,
Wanting life to yield
To all my needs in this moment.

You come to the side of the bed
So we can exchange good-byes
That must be abbreviated.
And you always
Leave me wanting this love to stay
A little more than I did
The greedy morning,
Or intoxicating night before.

tamijane's love still young
"force morning into the night": now, there's an image!
The image of the night having grown so small that it cannot contain the growing-large morning.
Delightful, this!
Thank you for posting this easily recognizable, easy to relate to moment.

Thank you
Thank you for the comments. I strive for words that are easy to relate to, so you don't have to reread anything looking for the point, but are free to reread for enjoyment's sake. (I also hope when this love is "old" it still feels the same way, lol)
