me

i am nothing really
not a romantic
bad with words
not particularly wise
but you loved me
anyway

i am nothing really
i ain't rich
i snore when i sleep
and i grind my teeth
but you loved me
anyway

i am nothing really
insensitive
a boring old bore
who can hardly write
but you loved me
anyway

i am something now
because even with my failures
my flaws
and my inadequacies
but you loved me
anyway
