Fragile Handle With Care

I'm just being honest I think you're the best your one of a kind so much different than the rest what you see as flaws is what I love about you you do not compete or deplete me you don't keep score you're not always trying to beat me I've had this fantasy this picture I painted of the pearl who would be my best friend who would let me into their world I'm tired of sex, I'm aching for love I'm soaring high, searching for my turtle dove someone who understands me and allows me in, someone who will accept my past and forgive my sins I can tell you've been through the ringer, I have too but we came out cleaner than before we went through. My heart is broken and so is yours scattered in pieces all over the floors afraid to sweep afraid to move one bit for if you attempt to put it back together it may not all fit the pieces are not labeled so you don't know what you are missing maybe in disguise its demise is a blessing all you know is what you feel, you ache for that missing piece because without it you are not whole not quite a masterpiece you could search up and down but the piece is nowhere to be found you know where it belongs, it belongs in the center the focal point of the picture the reason that you enter I vow I’ll never forget to remember to always be your hearts defender.
