#BecauseILoveYou


You’re not perfect 

but neither am I

that’s the first reason 

we get along so 

fine

 

It’s refreshing 

you know

to be looked at

with care -

not malice or jealousy 

disdain or dispair

 

I’ve met people

you see

who don’t seem to think

that theirs words 

cut deep-

deeper than deep 

 

And when I mess up

you don’t get mad

you just take a deep 

breath

and say ‘my bad’ 

 

When we’re together

time fades away

it’s your spirit 

and patience

that goes all the way.
