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
