Jessica Alvero Poet I do not know?

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?
