Early Morning

early morning and the sun’s not yet up
it’s still dark in the sky
but the red numbers on my clock say
soon I’ll ring I do not lie

warm under the blankets I open my eyes
I feel you laying next to me
your breathing quiet breaths
and I remember last night together

how we touched and explored
how each sensation took us to higher places
our anticipation could not stand up
to the reality of proclamation

all my dreams, wants and desire
were fully met in unbelievable fashion
dare I ask you the same question
though I know the answer as you lay next to me with sweet exhaustion
