“You’re perfect” The words rolled off of your tongue. Like they were meant to be said. At this exact place This exact day. This exact moment. Between two breaths, you whisper those words to me. Words that mean everything, Words that change the way I see myself Even if it’s just for a second, I see what you see. Those two words Those 12 letters, phrased together Make my heart skip a beat, my insecurities forgotten for a second Because a boy, this boy, thinks I’m perfect. “You’re just saying that to get in my pants.” I say, with a laugh, Because why would he consider me perfect.
