he called me "awesome" instead of "perfect"
and that means a lot to someone like me
because being me I know a lot about the word "perfect" and how much
I am
the opposite of that word

it means a lot for a charming boy to recognize
I am not perfect and instead to deem me worthy of a word that I can actually own up to

but alas I do not
I brush these small compliments aside
just as I brushed him aside
probably because I am
too aware of how unperfect I am
too aware of how unstable I am
too unstable to let this charming boy
become a part of my life

this being one of my most unperfect flaws
not being able to let someone as "perfect"
as him become a part of my
*perfectly unperfect life
As an unperfect actor on the stage
Who with his fear is put beside his part,
Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,
Whose strength’s abundance weakens his own heart,
So I, for fear of trust, forget to say
The perfect ceremony of love’s rite,
And in mine own love’s strength seem to decay,
O’ercharged with burden of mine own love’s might.
O, let my books be then the eloquence
And dumb presagers of my speaking breast,
Who plead for love, and look for recompense
More than that tongue that more hath more expressed.
    O, learn to read what silent love hath writ,
    To hear with eyes belongs to love’s fine wit.

he might not always be faithful,
he might not always tell the truth
but in my heart he's amazing
or it might just be my immature youth

he might not always be trustworthy,
he might not always keep it in his pants
but to me, he's truely perfect for me
he makes me so happy, i just want to dance

he might not always be the sweetest,
he might not always see the bright side
but in my eyes he sparkles in amazement,
and his body would make any girl faint and die

he might not always be the smartest,
he might not always seem like he cares
but the way he holds me in his arms
makes my love for him go up in flares

he might not always like what i do,
he might not always see my point of view
but hes so irresistable and his body, tempting
the only thing on my mind is you!

you might not always be the perfect person,
and you have earned my respect
and wether you love me back or not
**i love that your prefectly unperfect
