The way
you clutch me
close within your grip
and rest your head atop mine.
The way you trap me
and make sure I won't leave
by throwing your leg over my body
pulling me in firmly.
The way I get up earlier than you
and try to quietly crawl
out of bed not to wake you,
yet you still wake and
I find myself being pulled by you
right back into bed,
into your tight clutch once
again.
The way you wake up and look
at how I'm fully dressed, and
still you open your arms wide beckoning for me
to come lay with
you.
