The Dawn

Those mornings when I am with you, my head on your chest,
the first thought in my mind
is that I love you
So I tell you
Every morning that I am with you

It is the coolest thing to experience
like a bird drops a thought in my ear
and it is how it starts,
untouched by any other thought
undisturbed by my own internal makings

Total truth
and it is all that I know
first thing in the morning

It is that basic and that honest
it is unadultered, unanalyzed, unmasked by any circumstance
it is being in that moment at the break of dawn.

That moment when I know myself best. I know ......
what I see when I open my eyes
and I see you
