missing tooth.

It was like going through a yard sale and stumbling upon a dusty Rembrandt.

No one would have thought it was there, between those old, yellowed paintings.

And yet, I found you as though I

had been drawn to you.

There you stood, a lanky awkward boy with hair that constantly fell into your eyes and a small smile that held so many promises and wishes,

I was taken aback by your wonderfully 

poetic ferocity.

I inched closer to you and before I could even think about what I was going to say,

you grinned at me, exposing two missing teeth.
