Wide Awake

As I open my eyes
I expect to see
your wisps of hair
your button nose

As I open my eyes
I expect to see
your enormous smile
your loving eyes

that look straight at me

As I open my eyes,
I expect to see
your fingers twirling mine
you whispering in my ear

sweet nothings, delicate somethings

As I opened my eyes
I expected to see you
awake and laughing,
but I guess that was too much.
