The Morning After

Good morning sunshine
I love your face
Rumpled and red from sleep
Pour me some coffee
And forget last night
Because it didn't mean much
The sad truth is
Sometimes the truth just sucks
Hush
And play that song we danced to
The one that made us feel alive
And lead to
Hands clasped
Hiding under blankets
Over sheets
When those fingertips and palms
Were the only things keeping me grounded
And maybe, for a moment
I wished the night wouldn't end
But the sun is up
So we're back to 'just friends'
Dress me up sweetly
In your old clothes
I'll smile so she doesn't know
Running in circles
Crazy like we are
Don't hold me so close
Time takes us too far.
