the break of dawn is the time of day when the sky is an artist's palette. somedays, you decide that you want to walk down the beach at this time. the colours of sky reflecting against your pale skin and the newborn rays of the sun catching in your hair, the break of dawn is the time of day when the sky decides that it is the artist and you are the art. somedays, the break of dawn is the instant we stop eating. it's when i steal my last bite and someday, last kiss. the break of dawn is that time when you're back from a run. your sticky grin a visible reminder of the satisfaction of taking care of yourself. the break of dawn is when you make yourself a cup of exotic tea and sit in the balcony when it rains. the break of dawn is when you paint. the break of dawn is when you dim the lights and scribble your thoughts down. it's when you write poetry. (because your thoughts are poetry). somedays, the break of dawn is when i awake to crave cuddles the most. the break of dawn is when you're most vulnerable but also when you pick yourself up and keep moving.
