"Love doesn't find you at your best,
It finds you in your mess."
A fact I know is true
Because that's when I found you.

At the brink of self destruction,
You came prepared for reconstruction.
Looking at the broken pieces
You kissed at the seams and creases.

Every message, every word
Gave me hope I never heard.
Every truth said to my heart
Gave me inspiration to create art.

And now I smile with arms open wide,
It's your scars you try to hide.
But love doesn't flee or stray,
Insecurity will not chase me away.

You search and search for who you are,
Afraid of every flaw and scar,
But all I see is amazing light,
A fire in my heart that burns so bright.

If distance can't put our love to the test,
We can rise above the rest.
And as you search and change and grow,
I will be here and you will know;

Being strange is your greatest feature,
You are a beautiful, unique, amazing creature.
If you feel a mess that's fine,
I'll still do whatever to make you mine.

One day our love will take flight,
Our broken pieces spooned tight.
I'll love you forever if you'll have me.
I love you for you, you're my Sophie.
