Freedom from Perfection
Perfect, I ask.
What does it mean
For a person to be
Perfect? To be human,
We must all have flaws.
Therefore, to be perfect
Is to be inhuman. You tell
Me that I am perfect almost
Every day and I just don't get
Why you do. I'm certain you know
I am human and that I make plenty
Of mistakes. The thing is that you're
Not focusing on what's wrong with me
But only on the good parts about me.
There is no way I could ever begin
To describe just how grateful I
am to be with the perfect guy
Who says I am the perfect
Girl. Maybe we are only
Perfect in each others
Eyes, but that's more
Than good enough for
Me. Because, my so-
Called perfection
Is you. and you
Are the only
One for me.
Now, I am
Free.
