Right and Perfect

If you had Mr. or Mrs. Right,
You'd know your every wrong way.
If you had Mrs. or Mr. Perfect,
You would see your flaws everyday.
Not that she would compare you to her
And not that he would do the same,
But your imperfections are evident
In the presence of those without blame.
So if you have someone nearly perfect
Who is satisfied with you as is,
Be content to love who you have
And just to be hers or his.
