her smile was like honey
it was rare
it would sneak up on him as if they were playing hide and seek
dripping its sweet honey only with a little sting that made his heart catch on fire
he would try to look at it for as long as possible
scared of blinking
scared that if he did when he opened his eyes it would be gone
only for him to get lost in her eyes
and when they closed
next was her nose
her nose that scrunched up when she giggled
and then her chin that was soft and sharp all at once
her chin that she threw back when she couldn’t stop laughing
can’t you see
he would say to her
i can never run out of you
i will never run out of ways
to love you
you are honey
