I think it's a love song because it takes so much care to describe this person. everything is so soft and delicate, and it clearly expresses (to me, anyway) how perfect the singer thinks the person is. also, I think the story of how the ankle met the leg is metaphorical to the singer's relationship to the subject. Don't quite understand the red right ankle though.

Good point on the subject of the song. Other people are judged, but not her.
