I am in love with the lines on your face,

A decade of wearing you down. 

Emotions run like rushing water,

Engraining caverns of joy and pain,

Of thoughtfulness and contemplation

Of a million experiences

Over the years I have yet to

Endure. Or enjoy. Both. 

Your face gives you away,

And I embrace the story each one carries.
