skin deep

You have a scar next to your right knee
that you try to hide with lotion,
and sometimes knee high socks or jeans.
You have bruises on your thighs
that you got from playing like the boys
during your childhood.
The eyes that told me you loved me
are hidden beneath your glasses.
When you look in the mirror
you see nothing but imperfection,
but If I wanted a super model
I would have chased after one.
I'm more than satisfied
with having the most beautiful woman
I have ever known.
One day I want to see you walk into a boutique
and say to yourself
that you're okay with having a size B cup,
because your husband loves you
in more ways than just skin deep
