I’d love you if you couldn’t cook.
Heck, I’d love you even if I could.
I’d love you if you hated sports, watched all the time,
or still played ball.
I’d love you if you were 10 ft. tall, but I’d also
love you if you were just my size.
I’d love you if your skin was darker than mine
or if it was whiter than a sheet.
I’d love you even if you were shaped like me.
I’d love you if your hair was blond
and even if you had blue eyes.
I’d love you even if I was shaped like you.
I’d love you even if you voted for W and
even if you never hugged a tree.
I’d love you if you thought the earth was flat,
Dinosaurs never were, and that the sky was purple.
I’d still love you even if no one thought I should.
I’d love you if you spent all day with Lara Croft,
watched TV all day, or never cracked a book.
I’d love you if your family was completely nuts.
I’d love you even if mine was somehow sane.
I’d love you if all you ate were beets,
you couldn’t stand chocolate and
absolutely hated tea.
I’d love you if we lived on food stamps,
or if we were richer than Midas.
I’d love you even if we never married.
I’d love you if we never even met.

Beautiful and generous sentiment. And I like the two-line stanza format. The two-line format can tend to be simplistic sometimes, but you avoid that very well.
ReplyDeleteI feel I should mention (and I only know this because I'm married to a complete video game geek) that it's Lara--not Lora--Croft. But maybe that is an intentional error made to show contrast?
I wish the mistake was intentional and that I was so clever as to think of it. Or that I could claim that the reference was actually to Lora Croft the porn star, but again I'm not that clever or knowledgeable. I'm ashamed to admit that I did intend to refer to the heroine of "Tomb Raider," and that I merely misspelled her name. Thank you for the correction and I will make the change momentarily.
