You are the first thing I see when I wake.
Lips that are swollen from sleep
Pucker
Ever so slightly, painting an innocent look, upon your morning face.
Hair, that is normally arranged in a neat bun,
Lays
Strewn across your shoulders
In lazy curls.
Though,
Your eyes still sparkle as you see me gazing over you,
And your nose is still as perfect as ever,
There is one main detail, that has me in
Complete awe.
The mascara and lipstick that normally
Disguises your face,
Is gone.
And in its place,
Lies natural beauty.
