Waking Up

I'm aware of my surroundings,
and I can hear the birds outside.
There's orange behind my closed eyelids,
the sunlight seeping through the blinds like a guide.

I open my eyes to find yours staring at me,
for you were waiting to kiss me good morning.
Smiling is hard to hide at this point,
because your love is difficult ignoring.

Your face looks completely at peace,
as if we have all the time in the world.
You don't even try repressing your smirk,
for now happiness inside you is swirled.

We both know we're going to be late for work,
but neither of us say a thing.
We're only silently observing each other's art,
strumming our little heartstrings.
