J'adore

You don't mind
That my legs are so pale they're almost blue
And covered in dimples and bumps from the cold


You don't mind that my hands and feet are the same size as yours
When you hold my hand and our fingers fit together easy as a child's jigsaw


You tell me my eyes are as warm and as green
as the lake in summer
you want to dive in, you say,
and watch the sunset reflected in their waves


When we're alone in your car
we sing duets
and air-guitar like there's no tomorrow
and you say love is a silly word
but oh, how I adore you. 


--Patti
