I stir to the feeling of your fingertips, gently tracing secret patterns on my head
My eyes flutter and I see you looking down back at me
The sun is peaking through the curtains in the room, so your eyes are as clear as day
They are soft with affection, watching me as I wake up
You're smiling slightly, widening as involuntary noises leave my mouth,
A hum and a sigh there, I've woken up in heaven.

"You're so cute"
Your voice is sweet and tender.
I am coddled and completely wrapped in your arms.
Since I've opened my eyes, you've pulled me closer so our faces are inches apart.
The first thing I see are your hazel eyes, gold surrounding the green colors, shining back at me.
The first thing I feel are the edges of your fingers,
And the first thing I taste is your soft lips and bitter breath.
But nothing can be better than this moment right here.

It can only be described as the peace and calmness that comes
when you wake up to someone who is just as deep in love as you are.
And even then, words aren't enough to explain just how I feel when I wake up next to you.
