• ever wanna be unconditionally accepted? 
  ever wanna know for sure that your best
  friend knows all about you and loves you anyway?
  me too

  (I'm still working on this one)

  A Matter of Taste

  She likes her shower too hot, and her coffee too cold. 
  Her biscuits are too dry and her mouth too wet.
  The dog is too small, and her bed is too big.
  The kids are too loud, and the vacuum too quiet.
  The bank account is too tight, and her 'yes' a little too loose.
  She reads in the bathtub til the water gets cold,
  and goes barefoot around the house.
  Her hair is too long, and her size is too large,
  she's a little too quick to say, 'I'm Sorry'.
  She knows what to do more often than she does it,
  and she prefers to leave the heels of the bread untouched.
  Her laugh is too bright, and so is her lipstick,
  but the paint on her toes is a too pale pink.
  Sometimes she's late with no explanation,
  sometimes she's early and impatient.
  Nothing about her suits him, but she tastes just right.
  He tells her all the ways she's over the top,
  cute, funny, sexy, sweet, warm, tender, fierce and smart.
  Then he makes sure the burner is off on the stove,
  before they go off to sleep.
