Imperfect Moments adrift Perfection

Imperfection

I like imperfection
Crooked tooth
Cleft chin
Unruly hair

I like imperfection
Stubborn temper
Boorish actions
Childish sulks

I like imperfection
Awful timing
Bad taste
No sense of romance

I like imperfection
At least
I like yours.

A nice simple one to jumpstart the possibilities of future scribblings...*grin*. Anyway, I was out with *starry and she was talking about how a stupid guy pointed out her imperfection at a most perfect romantic moment. Dumb guy. Funny moment. At least to me. Why is it that some of the worse or shall I say imperfect moment among a perfect time that gets remembered? Worse, why is it imperfections that most people get the most hung up over when really, it's imperfection that gets remembered? Ironic maybe, but won't you agree, that it is imperfection that makes the perfection more perfect? Won't you agree that one's imperfection makes an individual all the more perfect because I remember the tiny flaw among the wondrous whole? I mean who wants to live with a paragon or a saint? Besides, I'll rather hear a guy tell me "I love you because you're perfect for me" than "I love you because you're perfect". Or it is just me?

Besides, dear *starry, imperfect or not, if you are meant to be, you are meant to be. And if so, who the hell cares if you're imperfect, so long as you are imperfect together? And if you are not meant to be, your imperfection makes you unforgettable. If he can't see this, his loss. Your gain.

Remember that.
