Before You Say You Love Her

Before you say you love her Have a drink with her first Wait until she becomes intoxicated Not to take advantage of her but notice the way she acts when she's drunk, Inebriated giggles and unwomanly speech with all sorts of curses Would you still love her? Before you say you love her Take a shower with her first Wait until all the traces of make-up disappears As soon as the eyebrow powder, foundation and lipstick fades Look at her bare face. Would you still love her? Before you say you love her You have to undress her first, Wait until she is completely naked Not to make love to her but stare at her imperfect physique Look closely at her scars and those tiger-like stretch marks. Would u still love her? Before you say you love her Sleep beside her and spend the night with her first Listen to her loud snores and notice her annoying gestures Wait until she wakes up in the morning Look at her uneven-toned, oily and acne-filled face. Would u still love her? Before you say you love her Have late night conversations with her first, Wait until she tells you all her secrets Notice all her failures, insecurities and trust issues- all her flaws Are you still willing to accept every inch of her? Would you still love her?

Take a chance, love her anyway. Otherwise, you are always holding back... You are in or you are out. Great write. Loved it. Ann
