A Shy Woman

Her eye brows are very light, which make her eyes look even shier, if you can understand. Those pupils are already hiding deep in the recess of the eyes, in the shadows of the brows. You will have to get to know her a little to know her eye colors.

Her brown hair is parted just slightly to her left of the center. The hair is never braided, tied, just let lose.

Her lips are thin, and I have never seen them with lipsticks. They are below a thin, small nose, flanked by pronounced cheeks. She doesn't look you in the eyes very much. She's shy. And her whole face shows that diffidence as clear as day. Her ears have nothing dangling from them. Her jewelry is restricted to her wrists and her neck.

But somehow, if you can have the courage and the respect to let those eyes shine, and look straight into them with some measure of tenderness, you will find, behind the thick curtain of diffidence, energy, enthusiasm, and joy.
