Imperfect

I've never felt good enough, pretty enough, skinny enough
For someone to treat me like a queen,
But then you came along.
I was free to be myself
And still be the princess like you'd see on the movie screen.
You've been like a dream to me.

Alas, the 'lovey-dovey' period had to end
And it's back to the imperfect girl I used to be.
I don't want to see you go.
It's still down the road, I know
Yet, I feel like there's a clock inside my heart
Just waiting to tear it at the seams.

I don't want to be left alone
To pick up the pieces from the blow,
But I don't know if the truth would keep you here with me.
I know I don't show it well
That I love you with every fiber inside of me.
Please give me a sign that you feel the same.

August, I dread you now.
Let me go back in time somehow
To keep me from waking from this dream.
You're keeping me from my inevitable insanity.
I want you by my side to help me feel alive
And still be who I'm meant to be.

I'm not sure if I'm done with this or if I even like it, but I figured I'd get some sort of opinion on it before I just threw it out the window.
