I have pretty eyes, I'm told,
but I didn't ever believe it
until I was hearing it from you.

I needed braces for four years,
but you say you've never been
more in love with someone's smile.

I stopped eating lunch every day,
but started to again
when you told me my body was perfect.

I've always hated my lips,
but have never felt happier
than when they were pressed to yours.

And I find it ironic (and amazing)
that everywhere I didn't feel beautiful
was beautiful to you.

(But I just wish I could tell you
that I feel the very same way about
the parts of you you want to change.)
