Goodbye Kiss

A hint of sun, where the window shades meet 

I hear you roll over and wrestle the sheets 

Your hands find my body, warm from sleep 

All that I know is you’re going to leave 

 

You linger briefly, before you get up 

I will you there longer, without any luck 

You go brush your teeth and slip on your jeans 

The next thing I hear is the coffee machine 

 

An eternity later, you lean over the bed 

And finally brush your lips against my head 

You try not to wake me, you do try your best 

While I am amused you think I’m still getting rest
