Shimmering sunlight creeps over my eyes

A strong smell of coffee nudges me awake

She hands me a smooth ceramic mug

Her gentle smile waking me up more than any cup of coffee ever could

I thank her and feel the bed dip as she sits next to me

She is pure light

Steam from the mug heats my face as I take my first sip

The warmth of the coffee spreads from my torso down to my fingers and toes

We sit there in loving silence, as the world moves on around us

For this moment is ours and ours alone
