her/everyday

i see her everyday
and every so often i think
this is the day
that i will finally be able
collect the necessary courage
to say "hi, i like you"
and not be terrified of what the answer will be

But that is not today...

First Thing To Do When I Wake Up

First Thing To Do When I Wake Up

Is to remember what just happened
realize that the past few hours
were all imaginary.
try to unbuckle the quilt
locate eyes
Hear her speak the first words of my day.
