My back to the balcony,
eyes half closed with an unlit cigarette between my lips.
Cliff is crackling and crooning on the turntable,
and you are making coffee,
covered in the blissful beauty of the morning sun.
I think I’ve come this far for a reason,
and maybe one day,
I will work it out,
but for now,
basking in the dawn’s blessings,
lighting up as your bright eyes find mine,
I am happy to be kept waiting.
