0 How You Are

I'll love you when you're dumb.
I'll love you when you're smart.
I'll love you any way you are,
right from the start.
I'll love you if you're tall.
I'll love you if you're short.
I'll love you if you're pretty
or just an ugly dork.
I'll love you if you're toothless.
I'll love you if you're blind.
Anything that is wrong with you,
to me you'll be just fine.
My heart is opening up now,
unlike it used to do.
I see the pain that is in your heart
and sometimes I feel it too.
I'll love you tomorrow.
I'll love you today.
I'll love you forever
and forever always.
