I am making a comprehensive list of the things
I think I would love about you had I ever been given the chance to love you.
It goes:
eyes,
and then smile,
cheek bones,
regular bones,
skin
and then flesh.
I would love your toes
and the feet that they come with.
I already had a crush on your hands,
but I'm sure I would love them completely now.
Your hair was awfully nice.
Your eyebrows were always neatly groomed.
I think I would understand your sense of humor.
I think I would appreciate your idiosyncrasies
and how loudly you snore in your sleep.
Yes, I think I would love that and even the bags under my own eyes.
I would love how you always cook dinner.
I would love doing your laundry.
I think in forty years I would love how your teeth have yellowed
and your hair has fallen out.
I think I would have taken it;
had I ever been given the chance to love you.
