Poems and excerpts from books I probably won't write.

We forget

we all forget how
beautiful we are

because maybe we
only look closely
in the mirror when
we are searching
for the wrong
things

and maybe we forget
that the lines around
our eyes are formed
from laughing

and maybe we forget
that the lines around
our mouthes are just
the memories of smiles

and maybe we really
forget that there will
be a person who will
stare into our eyes
and kiss our mouthes
and think that we
are the most
beautiful
person
alive
