with my love

those wee hours of the morning

when the world has yet to wake

a stillness in the air

peaceful and serene

before the energy shifts

to the chaos of waking life

my thoughts are loud and clear

no distraction in sight

a hot cup of coffee

a notebook and pen

my only companions

we bask in the silence

enjoying the precious time we all have together

but we know the clock is ticking

for our time is only temporary

the slightest sounds ignite my senses

because they’re a reminder

of the life that exists outside my sanctuary

like a secret affair

i don’t want anyone to know

about the time i sneak away

to be alone with my love
