Perfect Little Flaws

by IdTakeABulletForYou   Jan 31, 2009


You took me by surprise
-- I didn't think I'd fall in love,
and with the chance that I had given
found I couldn't get enough;
it took this chance for me to see
the two of us were meant to be.
At first, I didn't think we'd last
but now I am rethinking that.

You swept me off my feet,
and yet you caught me in your arms,
and so the risk I took was worth it
'cause it didn't cause me harm;
In fact, I'm proud of my decision
- to give life with you a try,
for I'd be missing out on quite a lot
if I had passed you by.

It's all in how we play the game,
and dear, you play it well
for you've completely swooned me into love;
to buy all that you sell.
And I'm surprised how satisfied I am
with you here, by my side.
I wouldn't want it any other way
... the way we are is right.

All that I have to say to you
{whose eyes scan down this page}
is that it isn't always fair to judge someone by just their face
because there's so much more inside
that makes a person truly shine,
and if you never look, you'll never see
how perfect little flaws can be.

    I would agree this isn't your best write ... but i loved the genuine feeling behind each line...
    and I loved the title also ...

    "because there's so much more inside
    that makes a person truly shine,
    and if you never look, you'll never see
    how perfect little flaws can be."

    ^^ so true indeed... when you love some one or when a person is beautiful from inside ,the little flaws don't matter ... they besome invisible... but how many times do we actually try to look inside a person...

    beautiful write...
