Unperfect Together, Perfect Alone.

I've tried so hard to make things work between us. 
I was invisible to you. 
I didn't flirt with other guys, or cheat and lie. 
That wasn't the case for you. 

I felt my whole world was crashing.
I didn't know what to do. 
I wanted to spend forever with you, but you always made some excuse. 
We seemed so perfect together, perfect to the core. 
People didn't know how unperfect we were.

It had to end, the pain in my heart was unbearable. 
I made you disappear, yet your still here. 
It'll take time to finally see past you. 
Past all the lying and cheating. 
Past the pain, and the anger. 

Our unperfectness together is now perfect alone.
