I'm lying in bed with a familiar stranger who

is chest down against the pillows

Phone in front of his face

While scanning through breakfast options

My senses lazy and sated

to my lack of sleep, my eyes drooping

becomes a battle of wills so desired

I am the drowsy lion without the ferocious rawr

At the restaurant, his rumpled untamed hair has me smirking

Our waitress stands patiently at our table, amused

but respectful, grinning at our banter of what to order

An odd sobriety when I realize

I'm crazy about you

brings news of future heartache
