Purity

This poem just goes to show that beauty and truth do not always need a full paragraph to get across; sometimes, just a few lines will do. The glasses sort of represent a shield, a face "you" puts on for the world. That "me" sees "your face laid bare" suggests exposure, vulnerability, and genuineness (not sure if that's a word, but let's go with it). That "you sleep peacefully beside me" suggests closeness, trust, and deriving comfort from each other's presence. To call this "love in its purest form"... I agree. To make yourself vulnerable, to trust someone enough that you would sleep by them, and enjoy being with them... I really think that's love.

On a side note, reading this sweet little morsel brightened up my day a touch. Thanks for writing!
