and Beauty marks. her

I want to write words for her
I want to hear her voice speak my thoughts
I want to see her understand me

I love the sounds the looks the shapes she makes

with her darting eyes
with her scrunched nose
with her unabashed vocal cord

She is young and wild and free

all the things I long to be

She is me
She is she
She’s we

A smirk-like look in her eyes
A gentle kiss from her pursed lips
A small hug that can last an eternity

I love her walk her run her stop

silly giggles
tumbling tickles
the softest snuggle

Bright eyes
Lengthy lashes
and Beauty marks

her

love with love made love
and we are now
us
