droplets of sunshine were spilling effortlessly through the blinds in our basement apartment
my hazy eyes were so far from ready for the day that called me
i silently watched you with a hint of a goofy, sleepy smile on my face
you left the door open a crack as you got ready for the morning
i gazed at your silhouette, totally captivated like i've always been
you came back into our chilled bedroom before you left
big, glossy blue eyes fixing on the target
leaning over and kissing my cheek
the perfect assurance that today would be worth waking up to
and the silent white butterflies haven't left my heart since
