I never liked skinny women. Their bodies were too thin to wrap my arms around and their body parts were too small to fill my hands. If I wrapped my arms around them, my arms came back to myself. And for some inexplicable reason, their smiles are just not mirthful enough. I never liked skinny women - until I met you. When I wrap my arms around you, I can hold you close or I can step back to look at you. When I put my hands on your body parts, my hands seem filled - even though they are not. And for some inexplicable reason, your smile brings angels, inside. I never liked skinny women, until I met you. |

I liked her smile, and somehow found her lively despite her being thin.
Though all we did was sit next to each other during dinner.
I did not imagine any physical contact like 'filling hands', the poem is intended to capture a feeling.
I think I had intended originally to have another stanza inbetween giving the contrast for a non-skinny woman.
It would go after the first smiles reference.
