Perfectly Imperfect

The Other Half

By: the iHope Poet

I need you to love me

for more than just my perfections. 

You need to love me for my imperfections. 

Not inspite of them, not regardless of them, 

For them. 

Because without the flaws 

we couldn't grow old together working them out. 

God knows I try hard, but I'm only half good. 

If that. 

I need you to not ignore my bad half. 

Because you can't tell me you love me

when you're indifferent to a whole other part of me that exists. 

You can't tell me you know me so well, 

when you don't remember all the times I shot you down. 

Forgiveness is one thing, and forgetting is quite another. 

Don't forget me. Love me. 

I'm imperfect. 

Please accept that too.
