2:30 Am

i wake in the night to find its only
2:30 am
Four hours left to sleep thank god
I hear your sleepbreathing next to me
I ease out of bed for a walk around
and then back in
to your warmth
the scent of you
Four hours left to be here in the night with you
the exhausted agony 
of the workday eased
by the prize at the end 
bed with you
