Whispered I love yous

I wake at night and you are there
Pulling the blanket up over my ears
Your skin brush mine in sleepy wonder;
Whispered I love yous at 3 AM.

Alarms are blaring, it’s work again
Tapping out the beat and humming along
Fingers brushing across my skin;
Whispered I love yous at 6 AM

Driving,  talking and soft looks exchange
My fingers brush the nape of your neck
And your hand slips from gears to leg and back;
Whispered I love yous at 6 PM

Music is playing and I’m at the sink
Washing the dishes but before I blink
Your arms slip around me;
Whispered I love yous at 9 PM
