even with
chapped
l i p s
she was beautiful .
even with
those thin
c r a c k s
he was beautiful .
it'd never really occurred to me
that other people had lips .
well no,
I take that back .
perhaps id just never
thought of
l i p s ..
the way I do now .
Id never notice the
s h a p e
or
s i z e
but then I'd became
i n f a t u a t e d
with
l i p s .
and it'd become a
r o u t i n e .
I'd always find myself
s t a r i n g
at a strangers
l i p s .
trying to figure out
what they'd have to say .
and that's when I realized ,
the
e y e s
hold the story ,
but the
l i p s
speak it .
