I met a beautiful woman today.
To anyone she would've looked plain

But to me she was another memory I would never want to forget

We didn't talk, nor did she look at me.
But today she laughed

And laughter is the purest human emotion
You can't fake it very well

Her smile lines protruded and time betrayed her but , it was raw

She was the kind of person I would have  drawn

Another stranger, whose every scar visible, and every crease in their clothing,

would find its place upon my stack of papers in various shades of silver and gray.
