I am plain and small,
So how could you love me?

You're distinct and petite,
Why wouldn't I love you?

My cheeks are blotched and crimson,
So how could you love me?

Your cheeks are rosy and glowing,
Why wouldn't I love you?

I am penniless and have nothing,
So how could you love me?

Riches and objects are meaningless,
Why wouldn't I love you?

She is lovely and accomplished,
So how could you love me?

She is gaudy and fake,
Why wouldn't I love you?

I am nothing and you are everything,
So how could you love me?

I'm nothing and you're everything,
That is why I love you.
The characters are from Charlotte Bronte's, "Jane Eyre"
