Forty-three

I met a kid about my age

With the spirit of a bird finally leaving it's cage

Clear blue eyes, freckles, light hair

Perfect teeth, a breath of fresh air

43 freckles to be exact, each of them perfectly placed

For the first time ever I don't have to urge to rearrange.

Although he gives me a funny look every time I stop

To count the little grains of sugar whenever the bag drops

Yet he still takes my hand, looks me dead in the face

And he'll say something sweet as I count the freckles that were perfectly placed

And every time I get 43 and a kiss on my cheek

Oh, how I love to have someone that sees me as me.
