"You're beautiful," you say
And I shiver
Imagining you whispering those words
In a husky voice in my ear
"You're perfect the way you are,"
You say again
Only if you could write it
On my skin
With your lips
Lovingly, caressing my imperfections
I've never felt beautiful ever
Not the conventional beauty anyway
"Cute" you say sometimes
I giggle
"Sexy" you say at other times
Almost putting a claim on me
And rightfully
Cause I'm yours
I belong to the man
Who has embraced my scars
Not trying to hide them
But heal them and love them
Cause he knows that sometimes
My flaws are my strengths
I love the way you admire me
Or that you make me feel
Needed, desired, wanted, craved for
And there's respect in your words
"You're the girl I dream of,"
I imagine you saying again, slowly
Tracing my curves and edges
Memorising those perfect imperfections
As you hug the broken pieces of me
Into one complete whole
With your love
