I always wanted to believe that love was blind
but now I find myself scared that if it were
I would never be truly seen

I want love with eyes open with the brightness set to high
I want love that sees the peach fuzz hairs
the tattoo behind the cover-up

I want illuminated love with every light turned on and window wide
I want sun bleached love unfiltered
I want a fine lined love

sharp detailed love
a love that doesn’t hide
