The Morning After

The door is still open from last night
And I can feel the morning waking up
I gaze across the pillow and there you are
Sleeping peacefully, not knowing I am looking

Your chest rises and falls back once more
Your hair is tousled and you are gorgeous
Watching your body brings back the memories
Of last nights beauty still etched in my mind

We filled the night with such sweet sounds
Faint whispers of words known only to us
The air coming across the bed where we lay
Cooled the sheets and brought us together

The candle lit room was bathed in shadows
Dancing on the walls for us to watch
The moon peeked in just to say goodnight
As we finally gave up the passion for sleep

I am again reminded of a time long ago
When two young lovers reached out to one another
Dreaming for a night and morning such as this
Thankful that they have waited until now
