halfway there

I used to hate the dreams
so sleep was a place
I skirted, detoured or ignored,
and then it was the place
two breaths before your hello,
eyes intent,
giving me that smile
I know I own.

Life takes turns they say,
never hinting at the corkscrew effect,
I only know I am found
when your arms open
like a door I never guessed,
and the welcome at dawn
makes the day something I can bear,
for the sugar you shared
with my morning brew.

Halfway to a life
is halfway to you.
The next steps are yours.
