Just wanting to feel okay

Location

We are all waiting for the day
When somebody will tell us
Our imperfections are simply beautiful.
Not because we believe it,
But because it soothes the pain
Even for just a short while.
And sometimes we find that person
Who will soothe the pain forever
Tell us we are perfect.
And make us think it too.
And that, I believe, 
Is love.
Selfish, aren’t we?
