Because he is a toothbrush... and I am a bicycle tire.
....
A Love Letter from the Toothbrush to the Bicycle Tire by Sarah Kay.
They told me that I was meant for the cleaner life
 That you would drag me through the mud
 They said that you would tread all over me
 That they could see right through you
 That you were full of hot air
 That I would always be chasing
 Always watching you disappear after sleeker models
 That it would be a vicious cycle
 But I know better
 I know about your rough edges
 And I have seen your perfect curves
 I will fit into whatever spaces you let me
 If loving you means getting dirty
 Bring on the grime
 I will leave this porcelain home behind
 I'm used to twice a day relationships
 But with you, I'll take all the time
 And I know that we live in different worlds
 And we're always really busy
 But in my dreams
 You spin around me so fast
 I always wake up dizzy
 So, maybe one day
 You'll grow tired of the road
 And roll on back to me
 And when I blink my eyes into morning
 Your smile will be the only one I see.
