The Features of Her

The dimples in her face
The gap in her teeth

The color of her skin
The acne on her face

The shape of her eyebrows
The missing and replacing of her eyelashes

The color of her eyes
The color of her lips

The structure of her nose
The frame of her ears

The color of her hair
The length it falls

It all comes together
All in all

Despite her flaws
Together they make Monique.
