When you kiss someone, does it not sometimes feel like you're kissing yourself? That you're looking down at your face as they lower or raise their lips to yours. Seeing every imperfection with a grimace, wanting to smooth your eyebrows, widen your eyes, lower your nose, straighten your teeth. Do you look at yourself with half the admiration your lover does, as they memorize every imperfect feature you hate?

I think about the times I look in the mirror and wince, and I can't imagine another not doing the same. I can't imagine a lover seeing my flaws and loving them as much as I hate them.

There are facets of me I love wholeheartedly. But there are more parts I don't deem worthy. How sad for those parts.
