Perfect

Everynight, since that night

I have wondered

about where we went wrong

Why it went wrong

And still today

I’m left wondering

 

And the truth is

I wanted perfect

I craved for my expectations to be reached

I longed for the communication, the trust, the loyalty, the respect

I wanted it all

 

But you didn’t

 

I thought that we would get there

Because I loved you

But instead we went the other direction

 

You shut me out

You lied when you didn’t have to

You cheated because you decided to

You disrespected me and embarrassed me

 

But even after all that

Deep inside

I still hope

That one day

It’ll be perfect
