Good morning!
\n–Ish?<\/p>\n
That look you get, you know, the one that says, “Be honest.”
\nWithout ever actually opening that beautiful mouth of yours?<\/p>\n
Of course, how silly of me.<\/p>\n
And I chuckle to myself, though I do so loud enough
\nSo you can hear
\nNot to draw ire from you, though
\nI chuckle for you, too<\/p>\n
I know you would do the same
\nWere I in such a state as you are in now<\/p>\n
The state of wondering
\nHow could someone be so damn cheerful
\nSo early?<\/p>\n
My secret?<\/p>\n
I wake long before you do.<\/p>\n
And as I lay next to you
\nAfter hours, sometimes, of waiting
\nfor that telltale sound you make<\/p>\n
You know, the one where you say, “Good morning!”
\nWithout ever opening that beautiful mouth of yours.
\nSomewhere between a sigh and smile<\/p>\n
It is something of a small miracle that I do not attempt
\nTo guile out of you those words, so that I may hear them<\/p>\n
So I have my lips
\nTalk with yours<\/p>\n
A good morning
\nWithout ever having to open that beautiful mouth of yours.<\/p>\n
