What is flawless


I didn't know what you meant when you said our love is flawless, 

Did you mean that I was perfect? 

Or that you were? 

I didn't know if you meant there would be no fights, 

Or no long sad nights, 

Nor could I ever believe in such a fantacy life,

I know better than to believe our love is flawless, 

 It's like saying there would be a happily ever after, 

No problems, 

No tears, 

No fears,

But I can tell you now that that's not true,

I have so many reasons to tell you why, 

I love you, don't get me wrong, 

But you're not flawless,

You drink too much, 

You leave too often, 

You've lost your heart too many times, 

Maybe I do understand what you mean now, 

I don't love you because your flawless 

I love you because your not, 

So yes we'll fight, 

We'll yell and scream 

And I will cry

But you'll come back and so will I,

Our love isn't perfect because we are, 

It's flawless because were not
