Perfect Imperfection

1

Are you everything?2

In my world--3

Yes. You are everything.4

You are the light..5

You guide me out of dark--6

Protecting me with wings.7

You’re my angel--8

So help me to fly.9

You keep me safe--10

And save me from the world.11

You let me forget the past--12

And give me a new future,13

So that I may look forward.14

But why?15

Why are you with me?16

I’ve messed up.17

I’ve failed.18

I’ve forgotten.19

I’ve chosen the wrong path.20

I’ve made too many mistakes.21

And you…22

You are perfection--23

In every single way.24

Yet you forgive me.25

You love me?26

Yes. You said so.27

So opposites attract?28

I’m a demon--29

You’re an angel--30

I’ve fallen--31

You’ve helped me up.32

Perhaps you’re just heavenly.33

But then I notice…34

I’m the only one--35

You treat me best?36

Why?37

My beloved--38

Is that okay to call you?39

--why do you love me?40

I do love you--41

And you love me?42

Why?-- more and more43

Each and every day.44

And yet I rant--45

More and more46

--about how I feel…47

About you.48

And only you.49

You’ve made me cry,50

But it was a good cry--51

Tears that healed my heart.52

My oh so broken heart.53

--and you’ve only love me.54

Through and through.55

You’re there.56

Always with me.57

Whether here or far.58

In my heart or soul.59

Mind or self conscious.60

I messed up myself.61

I’m a screw over.62

You made me move…63

Move on away from hate.64

You’ve my savior.65

You showed me the lord.66

You kept me alive.67

Yeah-- since then.68

You know?69

When we first met.70

Remember that day?71

I stood, quiet.72

Watching as the food--73

The only food.74

--burning for warmth?75

You stood so still..76

So quiet and still..77

And I looked at you.78

I already felt it,79

That heavenly you.80

And then you spoke.81

I don’t think you knew,82

But I was lonely.83

I had a home…84

No..85

It wasn’t home.86

Home is where you’re welcomed.87

Surrounded by love.88

That wasn’t home.89

That was where I’d sleep.90

But we spoke.91

And I felt unworthy,92

Unworthy to hear your voice.93

So softly spoken,94

And knew the right words.95

Oh, all the right words.96

And then I felt at home.97

Though cold, and hungry--98

You showed me you cared.99

Then you brought me in that place.100

That place, I was scared to go.101

I thought of being shunned.102

Then you opened the door,103

The door to the new world.104

Entering together105

We fought for the corner..106

You remember that corner?107

I’ll never forget…108

That’s where we grew a bond.109

And seven days later?110

We met again at that place.111

We spoke even longer.112

We spoke where we were alone.113

We opened up…114

Well..115

It was away from the stairs…116

And under the sign.117

I didn’t want to offend you..118

Yet, you didn’t mind.119

And then there was the tunnel.120

Yes…121

That tunnel.122

Where we listened to the stream…123

The gently flowing stream.124

So tranquil--125

Yet scared.126

Happy--127

Yet full of sorrow.128

And then we returned to the corner--129

That corner seven days back.130

And I asked how you felt..131

Love was your answer?132

How?133

What had I done?134

I’m imperfect…135

You are perfect.136

Something I can never be…137

But we held hands…138

And here we are today.139

In love.140

Perhaps?141

Forever.142

We hope?143

And this is how I want it to be.144

But answer please..145

Why do you love me?146

And all you could say is…147

“You’re not like the others….148

You’re better.”149

How?150

“I saw angel wings in you.151

And you saved me.”152

No.. You’re the angel.153

“I’m a demon.154

I’ve commit many sins.155

But you don’t judge me.”156

Are we the same?157

“I love you.158

Do you love me?”159

I.. I do.160

But you’re the angel.161

You’re perfect.162

I’m nothing.163

“Liar.”164

What?165

“You lie.166

You’re the angel.167

You care.168

You’re heavenly.”169

No.. I’ve sinned.170

“You’re perfect.171

At least to me.”172

You think so?173

“In every way.174

My love…175

Let’s forget our past.176

Will you run away with me?”177

I loving lust for you.178

That’s what I felt that night.179

And yes, I’d run with you..180

This is what we’ll do.181

Just me and you.182

Against the world we stand.183

And here we are.184

Holding hands.185

Singing love songs.186

I guess this really is love.187

When you feel the other’s perfect.188

Or maybe..189

Maybe love is just you and me.190

And so.. I announce the stars--191

The heavens--192

The angels--193

And even the lord himself.194

I will always love you.195

Even after the end.196

This is true.197

Is it too much?198

I just want to say:199

I love you.200

Don’t you ever forget that.201
