She Is Beautiful.

Simple words for my wife

I tell her, "I love you because of, not in spite of "
She sighs,
runs her hands across the "C" section scar,
talks of lipo, tucks.
With an extended "annnnnnd" she fingers her lips,
mentions some film star with a bee stung pout,
talks of tattooed brows,
of laughter lines that require immediate lasering.
I smile, call her over.
She lays in my open arms, head on my chest,
I hold her, kiss her brow.
She is beautiful.
I tell her that every change is part of our story,
that without these we wouldn't have the life,
the love, the happiness we share.
She sighs, " but "
I raise her face, kiss her gently on her pale, pink lips,
She smiles...

Honesty? You have it here and now: BEAUTIFUL LOVE

Women (more than likely men too) need reassurance after certain procedures. It's neither vanity nor excess fussing.. it's as if.. as if the shell you were used to, was indelibly marked and adjustment, acceptance, seems nigh impossible, Foolish thoughts but.. present none the less.

To feel loved is the very best remedy. To be loved is the sole cure. You are the cure, Mr. Gee.
