I wish you would stop being perfect
Running from yourself

Problems and weaknesses are not contagious diseases you'll catch and spread by touching doorknobs or drinking after the wrong person
But are instead marks of individuality

Evidence of experiences and wisdom gained by them
Almost like birthmarks or at the very worst a mild condition that has made you a stronger person

Some have allergies
Some people have asthma or eczema
And you dear
Have a past

Run to me
Together we can face the parts of memory that are too frightening to look at alone
Instead of hiding regrets in the expectations of the present we will stroll headfirst directly through hazardous smog arm in arm
Until you finally make peace and fully forgive yourself for every last mistake ever made
