Learning to love myself, and

I hope you like it :)

(I challenged myself to write something that explored what I liked about myself, and this is what I came up with... Kinda rough; expected from someone who's been neglecting poetry.)

---

Curves are the best part about my body—


The upward curve of my eyelashes when I turn my eyes down, their shadows cast against my cheeks

The way my top lip curves at my Cupid's bow, stretched taut and armed with promise

The curve of my jaw when it rests against the curves of your shoulder, your arm, your lap

The simplest curves of my naked shoulder and my bare lower back, sometimes sexy without even trying

The curves of my hips and my waist—"too wide"/"not wide enough", just fine and all mine

The curves of my fingertips and how you somehow don't seem to hate them against your skin

The curve my body takes when it is beside yours.
