Not Because I'm Beautiful

Love me
Not because my hair shines copper in the light
Because when you see me from a distance your heart skips a beat
And you lose your breath in anticipation of the moment we’ll meet
And you don’t want to lose me from your sight

Love me
Not because my big bright eyes are sparkling and green
Because your skin tingles all over when you touch mine
And you feel warmth consume your body and mind
And you don’t want to let go of me

Love me
Not because I have good legs and a nice bottom
Because when you’re with me you feel relaxed and content
And everything in the world is perfect for that moment
And all your cares can be forgotten

Love me
Not because my smile lights my face with the sun
Because I take an interest in what interests you
And I like the same things that you do
And though you think you’re a loser you feel like you’ve won

Love me
Not because I’m beautiful
Because of all the incredibly wonderful things that I do
And I do all those wonderful things for you
And it makes you feel so special

Love me
Not because I smell so sweet
Because my cuddles calm you and put you at ease
And my kisses make you go week at the knees
And making love with me makes you feel complete

Love me
Not because I’m flawless and cute
Because you find my imperfections endearing
And my quirks amuse you and draw you nearer
And though I’m not perfect I’m perfect for you

Love me
Not because I want you to
Because we are one and one the same
And nothing or nobody can take that away
And for all the same reasons I will love you

Love me
For just being me

Love me
For just being
