`
Your hands,
like sunrays wake me up.
Their warmth cascading
my skin's waterfalls.
I hear your welcome voice
reverberate the tones
of bliss and contentment.
My eyes
[half asleep & half awake]
almost forget
to open their windows.
My face
moves my muscle to smile.
For you
and because of you.
You pour coffee
in my favorite cup
and kiss me good morning.
[You forgot that
I don't drink coffee
and it's okay].

I think the ending leaves a lasting impression to the reader. The overall poem is intriguing much like its title. And the sensuality here has some kind of misgiving or hesitation just like being in a casual or temporary relationship. Thank you for this entry.
