the perfection of you

they say nobody is perfect
but i look at you and realize
these are the same people that told me there was a santa clause
they
say
nobody is perfect
but they don't know
the depth of your mind
or the
softness of your touch
or the
sweetness of your soul
they say
nobody is perfect
but
they
have never heard your hello at the end of a long day
they have never felt your lips against their neck
they have never fallen so deep into your embrace that they get lost in your life
they say
nobody is perfect
but the picture of perfection painted by every word they say is you
they
say
nobody is perfect
but they
don't know
the perfection of you.
