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.
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.

Thank you.
It's too easy most times to ignore the person while finding faults with the flesh.

I've never been comfortable with the word love as I've always found it is more of a romantic notion than anything else.Love should be a collective noun for a whole host of other words like respect, responsibility...
Thanks for reading.😘
