you


you look at me with soft brown eyes

the ones you hate and you despise

you hold my hand and get upset 

because the sweat never seems to rest

you lay by my side but overreact 

because you keep thinking that you're fat

but there's nothing you could every say

to make my feelings go away

every inch from head to toe

is perfect to me, even your nose

the way you say my name out loud

or call me babe when no one's around

you hold me close and let me know

you'll never, ever, let me go

i love you more than i could ever show
