101 reasons why I loved you // l.h // ON HOLD

week 4

reason #4 (always perfect, no matter how you looked)

dear luke,

this is the fourth reason of 101 why I loved you.

I always thought you were the most attractive person I had ever met, but it was always proven to me when I saw you at your worst.

they say no one is perfect, that everyone has their flaws, but when it came to you, that was impossible for me to believe. you were gorgeous, 24/7, and I didn't know how you did it.

I remember you came home one night, and you were shit drunk, your hair was a mess, you were covered in sweat, and you smelt like alcohol. most people would've thought you looked unattractive, but still, you managed to take my breath away.

when you woke up in the morning, with bad breath, I still wanted to kiss you. when you had acne spots across your face, it made me love you even more, because it reminded me that you were just a normal teenager that got breakouts.

you had good days, you had bad days. I always thought you looked especially attractive when you were angry or upset. when you were angry, you would sometimes pace around the room while nibbling on your lip ring, and you would run your hands through your hair.

when you were sad, you would pout at me until I agreed to cuddle with you, and when I agreed you would break out into a grin.

when you were confused, you looked like an amazingly attractive lost puppy. you would furrow your eyebrows, and scrunch your nose up. then you'd bite your lip and think really hard about whatever it was you were confused about.

I especially loved when you had just gotten back from the gym, though. you were sweaty, your normally quiffed hair was all tangled and disheveled, your cheeks rosy and warm, and small puffs of air escaped your rosy lips.

I loved seeing you at your worst, because it made me appreciate you even more. I loved seeing you at your best, because it showed me how lucky I was to have you. but mostly, I just loved how you, were you.

you knew you weren't perfect, and you knew no one was. you knew you had flaws, but so does everyone else. you were happy with the way you were, and I loved that. I thought you were the most beautiful human being, and not only because of your looks, but because of the way you were with people.

you were never perfect, but you were always as close as you could get to it for me. every day that I woke up, I wondered how I found you, and how I ever got as lucky as I did to have you.

I learned to accept you at your worst, and your best, and you did for me. I learned to appreciate you at your worst and your best, and you did for me.

I learned to love you for who you were, like you did for me. but most importantly, I learned that no one is perfect, except for you.

that was reason 4 of 101 why I loved you.

love,amanda
