Picture Perfect

Sometimes
                                    I look at her, and I think, 
                              Could she be anymore perfect?
                      Though not everyone may agree, but still                                          
                    I believe that only she could make me happy,
                  despite all my imperfections and insecurity, and
                  so for this reason, and many more, I do not care
                  for what they say, because they can’t understand
                  the way I feel when she’s holding me, when she  
               chooses me above all others to be with, as if it’s a 
           perfectly natural, normal thing, and though she hates
           being photographed, she’ll do it for me, and she will
           try to scowl but I can always make her smile, and it’s
          always worth my while,           for         now I can paint
              her with       my words,                     her beauty    a
                   poem          for the                       world to    read 
                    and in            my                                           heart,
                   I know                                                              that
                  I will                                                                  for                    
               always                                                                stay                 
                 this   way,                      devoted                      and 
                 deluded,                               but                       if
                     that’s  the          life                         I    choose
                      then      why        should they stand    in
                        my           way?             I can           feel
                       just         how   I                            like,
                    and            if           it                     all     ends
                      in         tears,              so what?            For
                   still          I                                               will 
                                have                                             had
                             an amazing                                       time.
