her face

i looked at her face
and could tell she loved many people
i looked at his face
and could tell he needed to love a child
i looked at her face
and saw her eyebrows for the first time
i looked at his face
and saw he had no fear of mine
i looked at her face
and wanted to love her forever
i looked at his face
and wanted him not to look away
i looked at her face
and waited for her lips to move
i looked at his face
and waited for him to stay
i looked at her face
and wondered what she needed
i looked at his face
and wondered what i could give
i looked at her face
and saw unconventional beauty
i looked at his face
and saw the richness of his years
i looked at her face
and saw an age i'd like to land at
i looked at his face
and saw a place i'd like to arrive
i looked at her face
and wondered if she could keep loving me
i looked at his face
and wondered why he didn't know i always would.
