imperfect

i was never perfect for you

(maybe why you left)

for you saw my

every ridge and smudge in bountiful

i faked my smiles

and pretended to love life

(something i still do)

and

my heart beat for

a few

(it beats only for you)

one without limitation

(dare i ask?)

if you could hold me once more?

if you could love me once more?

help me ease my burden

you are the first person i ever showed my soul too

and you are the reason no one ever will see it again

but i understand, love isn’t perfect and so aren’t we

it has a weird way to make you feel everything at once

the absolute best

and

the absolute worst

and maybe this is why just once is enough?

(the once with you)

love isn’t perfect and so aren’t we

and here i still seek a way

to be with you

to never let you go

and here i still seek a way

to be perfect for you

but there are limitations

(this time to protect myself)
