the girl in the red lipstick

when he first saw her
she was wearing bright
red lipstick and a smile
that took his breath away

yet to his surprise
she was very shy –
a demure pink rather
than a bold red
 
but he fell deeply in
love with her anyway

  1. Honestly, I'm impressed that he noticed her lipstick in the first place. In my experience, men know nothing about makeup and would be too oblivious to notice what lip shade she's wearing

  2. The demure pink is what really counts! The superficial bold red soon washes away! Well done!

  10. Outward appearances don't always match what's inside. I'm glad he discovered that.
