You are everything that is good and pure-
and I, am a refraction of your perfection.
I am insignificant, I am flawed, imperfect and rough around the edges.
Yet, you say all the right words that softly seeps into my soul. Tenderness that captures my attention- that gravitates my heart towards you.
You say, you love me, and I deserve someone better.
Yet, I feel as if I am the one undeserving of your love.
I am but a girl born in poverty, a girl who fell in love with artistry and made a simple living out of poetry.
You deserve perfection, yet I do not have it in me to let go of the love that flows from you to me.
