X-ray vision

I don't see the greying hair.
I don't see the spider veins.
I don't see the sagging breasts.
Or the mothers belly.
Or the slightly yellowing teeth.
Or the beginning of age spots.

I see through all those veneers.

I see you.

It doesn't often happen but from time to time I really do see my wife from the inside out not the outside in.
