a typical morning.

every morning i wake to hot air being expelled across the nape of my neck.  slowly escaping my dreams and reentering the real world, i am welcomed back by a loving embrace.  i feel his soft lips brush gently across my sensitive morning skin, and one eye begins to reluctantly struggle open.  the sun's ambitious rays remind me that another day is breaking, and it's time to begin a new adventure.  the thought of taking on this day can sometimes be an overwhelming first thought.  i feel a reassuring hand find mine beneath the covers and i remember i'm not alone.  as fingers interlace, we become one.  we take on the world together.  as consciousness finds its way solidly into my mind, i hear a whispered "i love you" in my ear.  an uncontrollable smile spreads like fire across my face, as a shiver races down my spine and through the remaining untouched parts of my body.  the blanket is tucked tightly around our entangled beings, and i am resistant to their removal.  the frigid air is unwelcome.  we are safe and warm beneath the sheets, basking in the heat our bodies radiate.  sometimes i swear i could lay like that for eternity.  lost in a world between fantasy and reality.  as my cells begin to wake, my limbs start to become restless.  it's time to get up.  we roll around, giggling for a few minutes before we shed the final lingering moments of night.  and just like a dream they disappear, sure to be forgotten until tomorrow morning when we do it all again.
