The Perfect Girl For Me

A Poem For Samantha Cotton

The perfect girl for me would be
One who looks past what she sees
Past my appearance in my flaws
Past the fact I have no top teeth

She will say it don't matter, it's no big deal
That would make me comfortable real quick
She would be the kind to kiss me when she sees me
Even if she knew I was sick

I would be what she thought about when she laid down
And her first thought waking up every day
Because I'd give her reasons to think about me
All of them good, I'd make them that way

The girl from me would not be shy
And she would open up and talk about her life
She would soon understand that I listen very well
That her future I know I can make very bright.
