(i) want to ask about how she hurt you
the summer that you (changed)
(but) i am afraid that the truth
will make you realize
how many flaws (i) hold
because she had so little.

and i am afraid that my imperfections
were your favorite things about her.

i'm scared you (won't) smile like you did
with her in arms.

because she is the kind of perfect
i could never (be).

i am afraid that i am not (good)
at making you happy.

mostly i am afraid that i won't be
(enough).
