FRECKLES

The backs of her shoulders
were on a first name basis with the Sun,
kissed more times than one could count,
and dyed brown with the love of the stars.

I could not decide
if I wanted to kiss them myself
or make her my friend.
Because she had a loveliness about her
but also a sense of adventure.

Of course, one could have both,
if one was the right match.
But I knew we could not be both-
only one or the other.

I opted for neither
and sought my real match.

I think I should remove the last two lines and end at "only one or the other"
