"Hesitant"
The chill seeps in.
Fogged panes
diffuse morning light.
A gentle rumble
your breath beside me
For once, I hesitate.
Grey light caresses your face
illumining the strong jaw.
I watch carefully,
seeing it in day for the first time,
messy hair so unlike the careful style I glimpsed in the club last night.
My fingers find the curve of your back,
nestled in the shallow slope they discovered in dancing.
Cool sheets fall away from me
as I rise,
breasts covered in gooseflesh.
Maybe this morning,
I'll let you sleep instead.
