Her smile

She is not beautiful.

Her hair

Loose brown curls

Long, swinging with her every move.

 

Her eyes are not catching.

Yet,

round

brown

eyes

catch mine, almost every time.

 

Her laugh is embarassing.

She mocks

and I can' tell

if I've done something wrong

or if she's laughing out of pure love.

 

Her shoulders are nothing special.

No shoulders are special,

what is the beauty in shoulders?

There is none.

But there is beauty in the way her shoulder

brushes mine

and I say sorry

but she doesn't mind.

 

Her smile

is too often fake

that's the smile

that I hate.

But the one she shows

everytime we talk

I swear it's real.

And there's nothing

more

beautiful

than

her

smile.

 

Her heart

isn't aligned with mine.

But her smile is beautiful

and if all it takes

is for her to love someone I hate

and all she takes

is a piece of my heart,

I'd want her to smile.
