I would have loved you

I would have loved you.
Even if you had
my frizzy hair
 your father's nose
  my cellulite and
   his knobbly knees
    my stubbornness
     his temper
      my anxiety
       his depression
        your grandmother's hearing loss
         your papa's male pattern baldness

I would have loved you
Even if you were the worst parts of all of us
Stitched into a patchwork of faults and flaws
A tarnished canvas that this harsh world
would have tried its damned hardest to reject
But I
With all my heart
With all my mind
From deep inside my empty belly
I would have loved you,
Endlessly.
