The lovers and the dreamers,
Asleep at 3 a.m.
On a mattress on the floor.
Oblivious to the world turning.
The lovers and the dreamers,
Sharing coffee at 8 a.m.
Over hazy eyes and light
Catching the dust in the air.
The lovers and the dreamers,
Kissing goodbye at 9:30 a.m.
Their breath visible between
The touching of their lips.
The lovers and the dreamers,
Coming through the door at 6 p.m.
Drinking too much wine
That’s meant for the chorizo.
The lovers and the dreamers,
Falling into bed at 9 p.m.
A tangled mess of limbs and sheets
Falling asleep in each other’s arms.
The lovers and the dreamers,
Are asleep at 3 a.m.
They will begin again,
In the morning.
