at the crack of dawn
he wakes,
slowly rising as not to disturb his beloved
from her peaceful slumber
he gets dressed in the dark
mumbling under his breath
as he slams his toes in the dresser
and shuts his finger in a door
she stirs,
he goes deathly silent
and looks at her peaceful face
and softly, kissing her lips,
he makes sure shes okay
as he slips out the door
he looks back just one more time
"i love you" he whispers
as he turns to leave
he hears "i love you more"
smiling to himself
he leaves for work
