3:00 am

Noses pressed to
Pillows edge
I woke
To find
Her eyes open
Smiling

Lips pressed together
Breathing as one
Trembling fingers

Reaching out
Gently tracing
From cheek to
Eye to hungry
Lips

Kisses
Following
Fingers
Tasting salt
Flowing tears

Words whispered
Almost too
Softly to hear:
I love you

Hearts –
Beating as one
Eyes closed
Smiling
Asleep
