I watched myself in the mirror
And all I see are imperfections
You watch me from the doorway
And all you see is perfection
I think I'm too fat
You think I'm just right
I hate my mousy brown hair
You think my hair is beautiful mahogany
I hate the little scar above my eye
You love it with all your might
I hate my grayish eyes
You love my deep blue eyes
I hate my greenish skin
You love my olive tone
I hate everything about myself
You love everything about me
I only see the imperfections
You only see perfection
And I love you every day for that
