Love II - 8. Paradox of Perfection

You say that perfection is unattainable,

an illusion that cannot exist.

Yet to me, you are perfection,

the perfection of a single white rose,

the perfection of a beautiful sunset,

the perfection of a slightly crooked smile.

 

And yes, I know

the rose has thorns sharp enough to draw the deepest blood.

And yes, I know

the most beautiful sunset often precedes a storm.

And yes, I know

crooked smiles are often on the verge of tears.

 

But it is your imperfections

that make you perfect,

that make you beautiful.

It is the darkness that lets us perceive the light.

It is the bitter that lets us taste the sweet.

Without scratches, silver would have no shine.
