Morning Rain
By: Charles Phillips

There you are again
you don’t even realize it
what you’re doing that is
in reality you’re not doing anything
well anything but making me feel special that is

“Stop staring at me!”
You nicely demand
“Why do you always stare at me?”

“Well I don’t ever want to lose a chance to burn your smile into my memory.”
I tell you with a goofy smile across my face
“I want the world to see that I get to it.”
You slightly blush
and turn your face
like I can’t see it.
lord knows id move heaven and earth just to keep seeing it
hell,
I’d do whatever asked me too
that is but leave you alone unless you really wanted that
if that was the case I’d hope you let me down gently
and run let me do my best challenger impression
if you heard me say that out loud
you’d probably tell me that was a bit much
or at least something along those lines
yes,
I know it was a bit much but frankly I’m ok with it

“Stop staring please!”
you demand once more
this time I listen simply because I don’t want to make you mad
something I’ve learned over the years I’m a professional at
so before stop staring
I make sure that I keep your smile locked in my memory
I don’t know when I’ll get to see it again
or for that matter if I will.

“Maybe we should open the letter?”
I ask you calmly
“I want to know the news.”
I hand you the closet knife
who has the time or attitude to own a letter opener
you open it
and the biggest smile jumps across your face
I move my hands to my face
and say
“click”
like I’m working an old 8mm camera
you finally let me read it
“told you that would be what it said!”
I exclaim loudly
and excitedly
then I kiss your hand
and you blush again

“I love you!”
You yell at me
it takes me by surprise if I’m being honest
but the good surprised

“I love you too
and what do you want for breakfast?”
I ask knowing your answer already
then in unison we say
“Crispy Bacon,
Eggs Scrambled,
a Waffle preferred Belgium,
and a glass of Orange juice.”
You look at me slightly annoyed
then say
“I knew there was a reason I kept you around.”
As you flip me off
and blow me a kiss

I go and put on my apron
yes the frilly yellow one you picked out for me as a joke
because after all you do bring more into the house then I do
I start breakfast
and know it’s going to be a good day
