just me

I’m not skinny but I’m not fat,

they say I’m easy to look at.

I’ve got curves in all the right places,

I’ll never be Einstein but my IQ is aces.

My brain a mass of beautiful neurons firing,

despite the chaotically intricate wiring.

My love is loyal, deep and strong,

qualities lost in the throng.

We’ll laugh each day together,

even as we age and weather.

Hold me too tight,

I will take flight.

I require care,

Isn’t that the way with things that are rare?

I am willful and stubborn,

a fact you may sometimes mourn.

I’m everything you never knew you had need of,

a precise mix of chemistry and love.

I’m not perfect, how utterly boring would that be?

I’m just me.
