Perfection

Perfection

If I were perfection
would we still be us

Would my brilliance
bedazzle you

Would we still
long and lust

If I were perfection
I'd no longer be me

Who's to say that's
a bad thing

Tell me
who should I be

If I were perfection..

yah....fuck that...
ain't happening.

 

  for you Patrick...my love.

Smiling here Huey… Glad

Smiling here Huey... Glad it made you smile too. I had two other endings to this and both of them, I knew, Indi would call "Hallmarkish." I felt the same way. A tad too cliche, and not the mood I was going for. THIS..is me!!! (hush Patrick!!!) Thanks for the response. Sue
