your eyes
remind me
of mountains
just before sunset.
or a forest
just after it rains.
so still,
so comforting,
I cannot
bring myself
to look away.
your lips
curve
at an imperfect angle;
one half arched
just slightly higher
than the other.
i thought
i wanted someone perfect,
someone
so symmetrical
and easy.
and then
i found you;
the boy
with green eyes
that sometimes
look brown.
the boy
with slightly
uneven lips
and a
crooked smile.
i realized
it doesn't matter
if society says
you aren't
perfect,
because
you are
so perfectly
imperfect
that
you
are all
i want;
and you
will always be
more than enough.
