I love waking up next to you

The warmth of your skin, 

your body next to mine, our souls intertwined,

still slightly inebriated on last night's red wine,

I love waking up next to you.

I count the goosebumps on your arms, 

with all your mischief and charms,

I forget all my inhibitions and disarm, 

as I lay by your side, watching you sleep, 

your hands holding mine, 

I love waking up next to you.

The winter nights are long and cold,

I lose my breath as I behold,

the beauty and grace which you possess, 

I must confess, 

makes me fall for you ever more. 

I love waking up next to you.
