Live Life With June

Hi!
It's me June. I look forward to a brighter clearer future, while I take care of myself, mentally and physically. I have started to quit worrying about me looking all soaked up. I can't wait to see me smile at myself smiling in the morning at the mirror. I have started to love myself the way I am and shun what others think or say about me. I am beautiful the way I am.

Falling in Love

I did not fall in love
with your smile
that captures hearts,
and lights up days.

I fell in love
with your laughter-
carefree and joyous;
The way your eyes close
As you laugh hard
That hint of red
On your cheeks
The way you sometimes
tear up, trying not to laugh;
The way it's contagious
And leaves no one
Without a smile
I fell in love with it all.

The sound
of your laughter
That's what I want to preserve;
That's what is music to me.

I did not fall in love
with your words
that weave stories
and enchant everyone.

I fell in love
with your silence-
calm and intense.
The long pauses you take
building a world in your mind;
The way you stare intently
into nowhere
and find the story hidden;
The way your eyes tear up
or that hint of a smile
that plays on your face
whilst you live your characters;
I fell in love with it all.

The serenity
and the agitation
That's what I want to witness;
That's what is story to me.
