The light tumbled in, through the window Golden rays softly illuminated my room I lingered in that state of half-sleep That groggy, warm wonderland But, something pulled me toward consciousness Slowly, surely I awoke... Blinking and yawning, I sat up And, gingerly, I rubbed my eyes Suddenly, I recognized the sound that had woke me I sat very still, and strained to listen From downstairs, I could hear the sound of music playing A song from a time, not so long ago I had almost forgotten all the notes, and the words But, they rushed into my mind, from my memory Echoing the words, was a voice, singing soft And I smiled such a smile... I flew from my bed, and down the stairs I came to a sudden halt, at the entrance to my kitchen Standing over by the stove, there he was Cooking bacon, making coffee, and singing sweetly He looked up at me, with a spark in his eye And smiled, that crooked grin of his I couldn't believe it, that he was standing there Making breakfast, in my kitchen... "Hey, there, Good-lookin'," he said God, I must have been glowing, and grinning Happiness spread through me, lit up my eyes My limbs moved on their own, as I bounded over to him Fell into his arms, succombed to his kiss It was so good to hold him, to feel him so close I swear, I could have kissed him forever... Pulling apart, for a moment to breath "The bacon...," he started to say "Damn the bacon," I said And kissed him, again... |
