I love the way your lower front teeth form a perfect curve
Like a smile within a smile
No longer being together and reminiscing on all that's lovely about you
Is sometimes self destructive
And makes it hard to imagine holding anyone else to the same standard
But actually it doesn't need to be a bad thing
If I know I can love everything about a person
Even an American accent
Then I can start to do the same for myself
And love my own quirks and peculiarities
Feed my own ego
And love myself
Just as I love you

I'm joking about the accent
It's hard to move on... I'm questioning the usefulness of writing poetry
