elf love

traced your ear up to its point
with my long, thin fingertips
and laughed at your soft, messy hair
as unkempt as the bed you keep
in disarray, the sheets all twirled
your clothes perpetually wrinkled and yet
i would not love you more if you were without
imperfections, the reasons
i cherish you most.
