Beautiful

When you fill the spaces
between my fingers
with your big rough hands
calloused hard work's hands
it is beautiful.

When you fall asleep
with your head tilted so
like you are listening to the stars
as they light up the window above our bed
it is beautiful.

When the scent of your pillow
draws me into a deep sleep
and I dream of you lying next to me
hips pressed against my backside
it is beautiful.

When I overhear you talking
in a low tone to a friend
about how you are going to
make me your wife one day
it is beautiful.

Lying here next to you
the gentle tapping of keys
as I type little love notes
I realize that our life
is beautiful.
