WHISPERS OF YOU

On occasion,
I see a whisper of you
in the face of a woman.
The way her hair falls
The curve of her eyes
The way her nose meets her mouth.
Three whispers on one woman.
It is enough to make me cry.
It is a wedding, I am allowed to cry.
But not for those reasons.

Could I be happy
marrying a woman
who only has whispers of you?
