I wake in the darkness and lie in the silence of my thoughts.
\nAnd as I watch the silhouette of the one who lies beside me,
\nMy mind travels again through all those predawn hours we\u2019ve shared,
\nWhen the world is still, and before the trials of the day overtake us.<\/p>\n

I slept fitfully again last night, knowing you would be there for me.
\nAnd as I listen to the gentle breathing beside me,
\nI recall how you come to life under my touch, and how my heart races when we move together,
\nAnd steal away into those secret places that we share.<\/p>\n

Although those precious predawn hours together are so few,
\nYou never mock me when I tell you,
\nIt will be different one day, one endless day,
\nWhen we will be together always.<\/p>\n

And as I gaze at the sleeping form beside me,
\nMy mind is full of the gifts I can lavish upon you to add to your beauty,
\nAnd how I thrill at the envy of others who admire you,
\nKnowing that you exist only for me.<\/p>\n

I form pictures of you in my mind,
\nHoping to hold a glimpse of your glorious frame close to my heart,
\nAnticipating the deepening of my breath and the sweat on my body,
\nWhen we come together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I sigh deeply into the joys of those memories,
\nAnd my thoughts are interrupted by a gentle touch on my skin,
\nAnd a soft voice from beside me that breaks the silence.
\n\u201cCycling again today, Babe? Ride safely. I\u2019ll have the coffee on when you get back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
