Perfect

I woke up this morning
And you weren’t there
It scared me to know that maybe you were gone
That maybe you had realized that you could do so much better
I sit in bed for a long time
Thinking about you
About me
About us
About how radiant you are
You give off this glow, an internal light
It’s pure and bright and it can’t be put out
I wonder why you love me
How could something so beautiful and bright
Love something that is damaged and broken?
I guess we need each other
I need something bright to hold onto
And you need something damaged to fix
You come home later and ask me what’s wrong
I tell you and you laugh
You said I’m not damaged, I’m perfect
I laugh and roll my eyes
But on the inside
I smile
Because maybe for a moment I believe you
And that moment is perfect
