One Last Beautiful Sad Morning

As the moonbeams faded 
Into the soft light of a brand new day 
I sipped my coffee thinking of you 
Lazily covered in cool morning sheets 

With the odor of bourbon still on the pillows 
I sat and watched your long yellow hair 
Spread out before me 
Like the rays of a rising dawn 

The heat of night’s passion 
Still flowing from your sleeping form 
Warmed and excited me 
In the coolness of a brand new day 

Soon… It will be yesterday all over again 
When my bed was yearning to embrace you 
And my quiet empty house longed to hear your voice 

It was a beautiful but sad morning 
Knowing that you would give yourself to me 
And I to you… one last time 
Before saying goodbye and leaving 
To be married
