You seem to be infatuated with it.
To you, the picture in your hand
is perfect and infallible.
I'm sorry to inform you,
your picture is faded
and torn around the edges.
It can be hard to see, unless
you pull it from the shadow
then hold it to the light,
but there's imperfection everywhere.
Sun spots and water marks
cover bits of the figure in the frame.
It really isn't worth as much as you thought,
but I hope you'll consider keeping it.
It looks good hung up on your wall.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.

You seem to be infatuated with it.
To you, the picture in your hand
is perfect and infallible.
I'm sorry to inform you,
your picture is faded
and torn around the edges.
It can be hard to see, unless
you pull it from the shadow
then hold it to the light,
but there's imperfection everywhere.
Sun spots and water marks
cover bits of the figure in the frame.
It really isn't worth as much as you thought,
but I hope you'll consider keeping it.
It looks good hung up on your wall.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
