Broken pieces of my heart,
Dark, scarred and battered.
You look for treasure there
As if none of it mattered.
Some how you see beauty
In what was flawed and tattered.

Long before we were friends,
But didn't have a clue
That we fit perfectly together
But now nothing is more true.
Yet some how in your heart you wonder
How could I fall for you.

It isn't because you fixed me,
Or just because you care.
It's not because I looked around
And no one else was there.
To say I love you out of debt
Couldn't even compare.

Yes you're flawed and damaged,
In similar, yet different ways than me.
When you opened up your heart
I saw a rare beauty.
I see a love that can grow
Pain and damage free.

Nothing in this world
Could ever try to match
A person as unique as you,
A once in a lifetime only catch.
To make you mine forever
Is a plan I try and try to hatch.

So as time goes on,
If you're ever unsure
That my mended pieces
Will head for the door,
Look into my eyes and heart
That love you more and more.
