Though you are obese
You bring me peace
Your gnarly grin when you don’t want to cuddle
I still love you when you run into a puddle
The only one who does not sleep when I’m not home
You’re my backbone, you make home feel like home
My one and only best friend
Thank you for being the best thing
After I’m done with this, I’ll give you a chicken wing
