Zero 7 - Destiny

i
wake early to
catch the sunrise;
sip my coffee and
in between each swallow of
bittersweet rush,
traces of you stir from under the covers,
rise to kiss me and
retreat back to bed.

i cannot seem to remember life
before you came around;

those summer mornings
and winter twilights
that have marked routine to my
routines,
expectations to my
unexpected.

some days i miss you with an intense
voracity that
only the unknown could have
satiated -
other days i
take my coffee and
sleep past the sunrise.

other days i
dream of something else -
another world-
another life -
something only past slumber could
explain and replace.
