I'M Not Perfect, But I Swear I'M Perfect For You

All your friends think that I’m crazy But they only see that I’m not perfect I know I have my issues and only I’m to blame I’m not an angel This I know better than anyone But I swear I will share the air that I breathe I will give you my heart And I don’t feel like I’m strong enough I can’t walk this world alone I need you My hopes, they are high I’m not perfect But I swear, I’m perfect for you I’m trying real hard not to shake I’m biting my tongue So say my name I just want to hear your voice And I wish that I had my arms around you But I’ll just keep dreaming instead And there’s no guarantee that this will be easy I didn’t know I needed you And now I’m beating myself up just thinking of you I need a miracle I need you to love me endlessly But that’s impossible I’m feeling alive with every breath I take I’ve been struggling to make things right And letting you go was wrong Now I spend another night alone My skin is cold without your touch Every night I cry and die a little more each time Knowing that I don’t have you Memories take me back It won’t ever go back to the way it was And I wish that this time would ease the pain And I know I’m not perfect But I’m hoping that you’ll see me through I’m hoping that I’ll have you I just want you to see That I’m perfect for you

I feel chocked up reading your emotional poem so full of hurt and longing and I am sure others can relate to your words too Tatianna. It can take along time to trust and learn to love again :-( hugs jan xx

Nice to meet you too, I'm sorry about your husband. I am currently going through a break up right now, and this poem is me expressing how I feel without him.

This is so sad and lonely feeling. It is a shame that they can't seem to see you are perfect for them, but someone will and before long you will understand how perfect it is to be with someone who finds you their perfect match. Nicely expressed feelings and emotions.

This feeling is very sad and lonely, but hopefully, time will heal it all.
