stolen kisses after dark

lipstick marks on love letters

flowers doodled on notecards

daydreams during car rides

dancing alone ‘till the end of time

whispering to friends, sending waves of laughter

lace contrasting perfectly with skin

soft blush spreading across cheeks

watching eyes framed with soft lashes

wrinkles, and stretch marks, and hair

everything that is a woman
