Imperfect

Close your eyes And stay very still You will never again bend To someone else’s will Your value is much greater than that tag you wear You need to see yourself As more than that rip or tear We can mend the tiny marks Fix the spots And hide the fray Underneath the knots I promise No one will see I promise Will you agree? Or, maybe this once Let me love you Just as you are Let me hold you I will show you Imperfections have their place If you allow me I will share with you my disgrace

Three days before my birthday this year, you posted this beautiful poem. I will claim it as a birthday gift for myself since I never had one. The way you embrace imperfections and offer unconditional love through this poem is truly touching. This kind of loving is my love language, but I also want to be loved in this way.
