Ugly Love

I call it ugly love.

Not because you are ugly people!

But you have passed the honeymoon stage,

the rehearsed questions and answers. 

it's all pajamas,

watch a game

snuggle while it rains kind of love.

Where we can argue about politics,

kiss and playfully make up-

where we can fall asleep on each other

drool left on your shirt.

It's pure, authentic and you aren't being anything but natural,

and I think that's when you get to be exposed, open -

it's embracing our natural state,

beginning the journey to find out.
