and my second toe is longer than my big toe...

I don't have any glamourous features

that you'll remember

~~

no big brown eyes to fall into

no lips so full they remind you of the moon

legs that go on forever

nope

not those either

~~

no athletic shoulders

or

muscular abs

~~

no thick hair that you secretly want to touch

no perfectly blushed cheeks

or

snow capped teeth that will blind you

~~

but

I have ears that will listen and understand the pain you carry inside

and

a heart that will hold you close

~~

my arms will always be able to wrap around you like a blanket

and

keep you safe from your own ugly thoughts

~~

my fingers will gently wipe away the tears you don't feel

but

that I see

~~

and

when the day is over

and

the night is thick with darkness

I'll be there with a flashlight

under my chin to scare you

and

you'll throw a pillow at me

and

then we'll dance to music turned up so loud that you'll only see my lips

move when I say

"everything's gonna be alright"

~~

that's what you'll remember

about me

~

oh

and

maybe

that my neck is giraffe like
