I have known
only beautiful men
until...you.
Your are my exception
to the rule
only to be
with men
who make you swoon.
But your ugliness
(for me)
is beautiful
& I wouldn't want you
to be anything
...other than you.
I didn't know
whether to take this
as a compliment
or to be taken aback
whether to take this
standing up or lying down.
So I just
took it
on the chin
& grinned:
'Well...gee thanks! '
And we left
it at that.
