I LOVE YOU
by ERIC
I love you but your hairline is receding.
I love you for your pale skin.
I love you but you look like a whale.
I love you but your feet stink.
I love that your eyes promise happiness.
I love you but there is always time for change.
I love your unibrow.
I love the gleam of the needle that stitched the seams of my heart.
I love that you are so competitive with the drivers in the other lane.
I love you even though you kicked my heart in the ass.
I love that you don’t know.
I love you even though you love her more.
I love that you get trapped in circular doors going in a circle.
I love my cat even though you killed my puppy.
I love you even though you kicked me out of the house.
I love the aroma that keeps me captive and inhaling the lies.
I love you even though when I kiss you, you taste like envelope glue.
I love you even though your lover is around as I say it.
I love the attraction of your voice even though we are emotionally separated.
I love you even though your breath tastes like throw up.
