I love you in the morning
before troubles hidden behind each sunrise
can leap
and attatch themselves to your innocence
I love you in the morning
when you are pure
and wholly mine
unspoiled
as virgin snow
It is best to love you in the morning
when I can speak to you
and you not only hear my words
but unwrap them
discovering my love
gently
softly
patiently waiting to be held in your hands
because I loved you in the morning
and you loved me in return
we can separate
for the hours that we must
and endure
what we must
and await the next dawn
with the eagerness
and innocence of children on Christmas morning
softly
eagerly
honestly
innocently
I love you
in the morning
