when you love someone 

you love them in spite of their flaws,

or so they say.

i say you love people and

you love their flaws the same. 

when you love someone they become flawless.

everything about them is real

and beautiful

and worthy.

and you forget to count 

the things you wish you could change

and you count the things that

that your breath away. 

her eyes 

and her lips

and her laugh

and her passions.

and knowing how

loved

and beautiful 

and worthy she is

gives her the courage

to believe

that she is most definitely

flawless.
