Waking up with Haldir

Morning.
Trees whispering, dew glittering on leaves
Birds chirping, branches moving in the breeze
A butterfly astray flutters over our bed
almost touching your face.
You smile in your sleep.
Sunlight traces patterns on the floor.
I trace the outline of your brows, your nose…
I love to watch you in your sleep,
I whisper, knowing
that I am a liar.
I love to watch you always.
I nibble gently at your eyelashes
I love the way they feel against my lips.
Your lips are beautiful
My fingertip pauses between them
and suddenly disappears! Ouch!
A new day with Haldir has begun.
