What is perfection
Is it something you can strive for
Something to strive for
I thought you were perfect
at least for me
And you were
I thought we had perfect love
in this imperfect world
I thought nothing else matters
So why did I spend so many nights crying over you?
Why did you hurt me so many times?
You never tried to hurt me
with harsh words or actions
You never did anything to upset me
Or hurt me
It's what you didn't do that counts in the end
I know I matter to you
But I don't understand how you can leave me again and again
by continually choosing to stay away
By your life decisions, by giving in
Your words always told me you would be there when I needed you
And you were
So long as my needing you didn't require you being with me
I thought you were perfect
But now I realize that presence is a prequel to perfection
Love requires sacrifice
I told you my hope would never die
I lied
You killed it.
