The sun comes up again and he says
I am the most beautiful woman that he has ever met in real life
and instead of me taking that as a compliment
I thought about how much he needs to see the world
Then it would mean so much more to me
If he went to the four corners
Kissed an Amazon
Slept next to a woman in Indonesia
Fell in love in Nigeria
Fantasized about a Manchurian
Broke a heart in Ecuador
Took a lady Swede in his arms
And then came back to me
Wanting…
Needing…
Desperately…
Excited to tell me
The next time that the sun comes up again
that the most beautiful woman in his world
Is somehow miraculously still me.
