He calls me Chocolate

It must be my flawless
velvety smooth, cocoa
caramel complected
skin
He said "No"
I stand corrected
It must be my so sweet
attitude
good to the taste
but too much would be bad for you
He said "incorrect"
Fine I redirect
It must be something else
like the indulging, dessert like
scent
which engulfs my every move
that he approves
of so much
He said "that's not it"
hmm...
So I sit
and think for a bit
and he notices the dismay
displayed on my face
Then he said
"Your beautifully brown, cocoa coated outer shell
entices my senses into paying close attention
to the bitter sweet intensely complex flavours of your character
So addictive, craving more than what I need of you
would be bad for my health
But having just enough of you is what I need to be happy
and what I love the most
is the way you melt
in the warmth of my embrace.

That amongst the things you mentioned
is why
I call you
CHOCOLATE.
