The many lines apon your face
Those precious lines do not erase
A line to remember the days that passed
The days that now feel so fast
A line to show your squinting smile
That shone on days we talked a while
The lines that went through what we can only think
Are the lines that appeared in a single blink
A line that runs below your eyes
To catch the tears of your many cries
A line that stands out from the rest
Is the line I have always loved the best
The lines that hide your thoughts of pain
What I would give for you to start again
