Why Do You Love Me?

Something kinda cute.

You could get any girl you want, yet you chose me.

People tell me I'm lucky to be with you,
You say you're the lucky one to have my love.

Why?
Why choose me over the millions of prettier girls out there?

I'm overweight,
I have ugly teeth,
And low self esteem.

I know I have nice hair
And great eyes,
But those seems to be the only positive things most ever say about me.

You've said that someone could be very beautiful on the outside,
But their personality can make them one of the ugliest people on Earth.

You tell me that I have the most beautiful personality
And I'm also very beautiful on the outside.

Sometimes I find myself believing you.

I often find myself asking this question:
Why do you love me?

I'm not complaining,
In fact I'm happy to be with you.

You make me feel better when I'm upset.
You protect me when I'm scared.
You hug me when I'm hurt.
You wipe away my tears when I cry.
When I'm pouting and being stubborn you'll sometimes tickle me just to get me to smile.
You actually listen to me when I need to talk about my problems.
When I'm angry you'll be there to calm me down.

You'll always be there for me,
No matter what.

I know your love for me is true,
And it's the strongest in the world.

You've heard me say this many times before,
But I'm going to say it one more time

Author's Note

Yay, another one from my advanced creative writing final project notebook. (note the sarcasm) Thankfully this is the last one.

This one in particular sort of went along with a story I had planned at the time, but i ended up scrapping the story when I lost interest in writing it (not to mention my dog had chewed up the notebook it had been in when my grandma left him locked in my room while my mother and I were out).

Great poem! I love the nervous and uncertain feeling of the poem, truly the essence of vulnerable love. I also enjoy the fact that you added in the question 'why', I believe people in general ask themselves this question a lot, I can really relate. I also love the ending two lines, they wrap up the poem perfectly! Really wish I could read that story you scrapped, I'm sure it was interesting.

thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it and I appreciate what you had to say. As for the the scrapped story, I've been planning on trying to remember it so I can rewrite it. In all honesty the scrapped version was probably an anime fanfiction.
