I wake up to you, there...
Sleeping soundly, almost smiling.
I rest my head on my arm and watch,
You shift ever so slightly,
Let out a sigh, scrunch your nose.
There's a burning inside of me,
Nothing major, really, just an urge.
I want to reach out and touch your hair,
Feel the silk between my fingers;
But fear of waking you halts me.
Did you know you suck your teeth in your sleep?
Did you know you purr when I nudge you?
Did you know I can't take my eyes off of you?
Did you know you are all that I need?
Did you know I can't live without you?
Your eyes open and look up into mine,
And you smile that sweet smile
As you say hello and yawn.
I reach out and touch your neck
As you roll over and stretch off sleep.
Kicking off the covers and sitting up
You make me feel slightly sad to end this,
So peaceful you looked sleeping there,
So content was I to watch you rest.
But yet my heart flutters again.
Did you know your hair smells of blueberries?
Did you know you wink right before you wake?
Did you know I kissed your eyelids?
Did you know you are all that I need?
Did you know I can't live without you?

Excellent!
This has to be one of the most beautiful poems that I have ever read! Truly wonderful work! Do you mind if I bookmark it? -
all right, thank you. i promise it wont be used online, just in the email i will send it to her in. and i know she wont send it around, the poems i send her are for her eyes only, not for those of any of her friends or family.

Very good.
It's indeed quite an experiance, I bet, having never been in a position like that myself. It's really a kind poem, and the focus is a little bit less than normal. You did an excellent jopb in making your feelings be felt. Very good. -
sweet
that's SO cute........ it must be great to love someone or at least have someone to love..... you're a sweetie....muah here's a kiss since I can't applaud. -
Sure, you can send it to your girlfriend. I only request that it not be posted online anywhere else, but personal use is fine. Hope it works!

BEAUTIFUL
This is a very beautiful poem! The imagery, style, rhythm... everything about it, is wonderful. Made me think of the song: I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. Well done! -
goodlyishness
Aww, this was really sweet and I loved the imagery; I could imagine everything as I read it. It was romantic without being overdone or too gooey, which is impressive. Nice job.
