Imperfect Perfection

My bunny's round, and tall, and wide, and fluffy,
her eyes don't shine blue and she can be quite blunt,
some can't accept that, they turn and leave and grunt,
I think they're wrong, I like my bunnies puffy.

Where they see flaws, I see a bunny, stuffy,
who tries her best no matter what is the stunt,
who's nice and gentle, her rudeness just a front,
although I won't deny, she can get huffy.

Her softness's a gift, a pillow always warm,
and her eyes, though an abyss, they fill my heart
and light it up, like of fireflies a swarm.

There's nothing I would let set us to apart,
for me protecting her is simply the norm,
and for her, being perfect through flaws, is an art.

there’s something really striking about how you weave food imagery like the aubergine parmesan into the emotions it makes the love feel oddly tangible and intimate at the same time, did you mean for the recurring motifs to mirror the speaker’s emotional shifts or did that come together more organically as you wrote?
