Perfect


I will never have the perfect look

The perfect hug,

Perfect kiss I took.

 

I will never have the perfect hair

The perfect voice, or

Smell in the air.

 

I will never have the perfect smile

Even though I will try

Every once in a while.

 

I will never be perfect

Even on my best day

I will never be perfect

In any single way.

 

I will never be perfect for someone,

But that someone

Isn’t her.

To her,

I’m perfect.
