We've come from different places
With bruises on our backs,
And found comfort in the places
Of all the things we lack.
We're okay with how we're feeling,
No we're not turning back.
Because all your imperfections
I secretly wish I had.
You're a rare flower in the forest
I found one perfect day,
And I'm not showing anyone
Because I'm scared to death you'll stray.
Your interests are an art to me.
We tend to share the same.
But I never wanna change your mind,
This is most definitely not a game.
I hope that you instill in me
The things I love in you.
Bless you for being honest..
So genuine,
So kind.
Feel free to share all your thoughts,
Because I honestly don't mind.
Your voice will never grow weary,
And your touch will never come rough.
Just stay near, my dearΒ 
And we'll tackle it head on when it gets rough.
And if our minds change
On some strange winter day,
Have faith that we'll find happiness
Because we both deserve to be okay.
