Back

I am 28 standing
Behind her as she
Presses her hips
Against the bathroom
Counter putting on
Her face of perfection,
Her shoulders move as
Her hands primp and the
Line of her back flows down
From her neck curving in then
Out again to her rounded bottom,
I can see in the mirror her flat
Tummy up to her breasts
Hanging forward as she
Carefully applies her
Makeup though
She does not
Need to
Bother.
I am
Enraptured
By her beauty
But captivated by
Her ability to spot any
Pretense or lies and
Her own uniquely
Canny
Unpretentiousness.
She accepts her
Beauty with no
Need for any
Exterior
Validation from me,
So I silently stand
Admiring her,
Glad we are
Together
For as
Long
As
Love lasts.
Though change
Will come we
Will always
Share the
Memory
Of us.
