What Is Perfection?

What is perfection? Is it the way you look?
Or just maybe the way you look at me.
You stole my heart just like a crook,
I just hope you cannot see.

I'm scared to death,
I don't know what to do;
I can't catch my breath
When I'm around you.

You say this is normal,
You say I'm alright;
You don't have to be formal,
I won't bite!

Just a brush of skin sends shivers through me,
I melt when you look into my eyes.
All I can see is eternity,
As my past dies.

Is it too soon to feel this way?
Am I going insane?
There's so much I'd like to say,
But is it all in vain?

How can I be sure I'm the only one?
How do I know your feelings are true?
I don't want to have it all come undone,
Because I didn't trust you.
