Only

I know you think
you have to go to work
and you do
so stay home
and we'll go back to bed
and get naked
and forget
about the world outside.

I will be right there
with French toast
and we can watch TV
and I will steal the remote
and turn it off
and you can reach for it
and we will pretend to fight
and you will pout until I give in
and then it won't matter
and you'll make it up to me
and we'll kiss
and this will linger on
until we finally reach out
and touch
and smell
and taste
and languish
and finally just turn
and face the moment
of our being unutterably in love.

Sleepy eyed awake
and drifting
and I will have been dreaming
and you wake me up calling
from work
that you're on the way home
and you want to know
if there is anything I need
and you think it's cute
when I say,
"Only you."
