dreamboy: a poetry collection

laughter lines

i saw your brother yesterday.

the two of you don't have the same face,

but you've got the same jawline

i bet if i reached out -

stroked the stubble at the same time,

they'd feel the same.

lovely.

i just know that one day i'll grow old

and all i'll be able to see will be

my laughter lines

whenever i look into the mirror

i saw your brother yesterday,

he was with his girlfriend, who is sort of my friend

i can't really tell

because she's that sweet to everyone

but if we were it would be strange

to fall in love with

my friend's boyfriend's little brother.

i just know that one day i'll grow old

and all i'll be able to see will be

your laughter lines

whenever i look into the mirror
