Love That Sees No Perfect

I've fallen in love again
That day started just like any other day
There was nothing special about it. Nothing unique.
I didn't wake up with the feeling that something big is about to happen today.
I wasn't in the best shape of my life, I wasn't wearing the "good" clothes that I own. My hair was a mess and I woke up so damn late.
It was raining and dark and my car broke down in the middle of the road.
At the end of this day, like any other, there was a person smiling at me, kissing the mess that I am.
It was then that I found my love.

Love made me realize, ideal is just a myth.
Love knows no perfect, no absolute.
Love, MY love, likes imperfections.

Memories Repeat

I've seen him there, just where he was a year ago and the year before that...
I've seen him walking down an empty lane, smiling at me
I've seen him in front of me so many times, kissing me at the very same spot, again and again.
The same person, the same moment repeating... And then he stops.
Suddenly I don't see him.
I see only myself, sitting at the same spot I sat a year ago and the year before that.
I see myself crying and hurt and digging a hole in my chest to find that one speck of love for him.

I've seen him HERE again, just as I have been for the past year. And I'm glad to say,
Today was the day I closed my eyes.

Seeing Him Again

In this room, with chairs facing the other side, and selfish faces talking
I see the man I love from across the room.
And all I do is stare at the unfamiliar face of a happy man, who sits opposite a happy woman who isn't me.
My hands are shaking, my legs have frozen and my eyes well with tears as my food gets cold.

What would have been if he saw me, will he walk up to me as he lays his eyes on me or will he ignore my gaze.

With this thought, I look around to see those thousands of faces.. wondering if they are looking at him too.
Looking at him the way I am and like the woman he's smiling at.

Just the way someone who loves you would look at you
