Simple Love

It must be 3am

And I can’t seem

To be able to go back to sleep.

You’re curled up

With your head against mine.

So soft

So loving

I listen to your breathing

And think about

How much I love you

And how much you mean to me

And how thankful I am

That you're curled up

With your head against mine

So soft

So loving.

I wonder if you know

Just how much you mean to me.

But I suspect that you don’t

Think about such things

I suspect you simply know it

In your heart

And simply love me

And sleep well

Knowing that

I love you

As much as you love me.

Your love

Is so perfect

So soft

So loving.

I know you’ve fallen asleep

Because you stopped purring.

So soft

So loving.

Unconditionally.
