Existent

Waking up beside her.

And As I lay there,

slowly becoming aware

of the curtain of your hair

that was casually draped 

upon my face-

I realized, that I would never

again, sleep

or wake 

in the same way

as I did today-

for without your sluggish arm

falling against my waist

the sun wouldn't quite rise 

in the east,

shining perfectly against

your sleeping face,

pressed against my neck,

in your warm embrace.
