Imperfections

January 24, 2018

Dear The Man with Imperfections,

I know you're not perfect, flaws all around

Your mind always racing, never sleeping sound

You've hurt a few hearts, and that's what you fear

That I'll be like them, an end filled with tears

Every second we share, makes your heart pound

But the past holds you back, pushing us down

I've opened my heart, I'll continue to wait

For you to realize - we align by fate

I'll sit here and smile - and let my heart break

While you fix yours, however long it takes

You are not perfect but someday you'll see

Your imperfections are perfect according to me

I know you're not perfect, I've known from the start

But the scars you hide are what's close to my heart

Every passing moment that you dwell on the past

Know that I'm here, my heart beating fast

Your eyes hold so much more than you know

It's time to breathe, and to just let go

For the rest of the world, you've built up a wall

But I see right through it, so just let it fall

I'm here now, and I will always be

I accept what you are, each broken piece

I'll mend your heart, and you'll mend mine

Together we stand, until the end of time

With love always,

Olivia
