To Be Loved

It’s such a joy
To be loved by you,
And love you in return—

To wake each day
To the gentle warmth
Of your soft, slumbering beauty;

To hear the dawn 
Of your waking voice, 
Still low and cracking with sleep;

To peer through pools
Of blue and green—
Your eyes, so bright with love,

And feel the touch
Of tender arms
That promise to stay forever.
