I woke up to you this morning
It had been the first time
In a long time
That I felt your heart beating in the palm of my hands
Your scent, rested on my upper lip
Our bodies were wrapped together
Like the most anticipated CHRISTmas present
Our feet
Formed the perfectly imperfect puzzle pieces of a love jones story
I
I woke up to you this morning
The heat from your fingertips ignited a fire that began in my belly button
Quickly traveled to my toes
Erected my emotions
As I exhaled and smoke escaped from my nose
I woke up to you this morning
The casual combination of champagne mixed with the natural scent of your morning breath swaddled me like the smoke from my inscents
Your body communicated morse code messages that the words from your mouth never have
I woke up to you this morning
My hands massaged every beauty mark like I was reading a textbook in brail
We have been through so much
Our story is incredibly layered
Yet when your nails pinched the skin on my back
I was reminded that you're still scared to lose me
I woke up to you this morning
The shining superstar that is always featured in my dreams
The vitamin E oil that nourishes my skin
The water that quenched my thirst
My peace in this mahogany universe that was stolen by a Trump
I woke up to you this morning
Topped off my year at ease and with a purpose
I woke up to you this morning
Now I have one question
Can I walk with you ?
Not ahead of you
Not behind you
But with you
This right here
This right now
Is all that matters to me
I woke up to you this morning
