Poetic...not

Perfect (btw it’s not as poetic as i’d hoped)

what is perfect.

perfect is not human

perfect is out of this world.

perfect is not easy

to be perfect is bold

i strive to be perfect for you

it's impossible i know...

but i'm reaching for it

for you

i made mistakes and i still do

i always will

it is what keeps us humble

keeps us human

and it shows that you love someone

when you're willing to change yourself

for the one you love

i shouldn't hold you back

i shouldn't push you forward

i should just hold you in my arms

hold you to my chest

and you'll listen.

listen to my heart beating softly

the cold wind rushing around our bodies.

listen to the faint, but lucrative whisper..."i love you"

so yet again. being perfect.

it doesn't matter. i think i get it now

being it isn't achievable here.

we're human. we must remember

just know that i will do all i can

for you

i will not hold you for who you were then

i won't tell you to be someone you're not

i will always care. always listen

i will tell you my secrets

i won't push you away

so when you see how imperfect i am

just know. i'm still willing to change

because i know it is the best thing

because it's for you
