, Just The Way You Are Poem by Louise Tredoux

You’re so sweet, looking at me
with one eye like that, protruding
between the blankets, you’re so
sleepy, don’t want to get up, so
I decided to leave you like that

To let you sleep till you wanted
to get up and tackle the day in
your own way, kissing you softly
good night in the morning, that’s
when you woke up and I was

Not sorry, I loved the way you
started the day with me clasped
in your arms, kissing away, this
is just as I always dreamt it would
be, I want you just the way

You are, forever and a day…
