How did I love someone
so imperfect as you?

With your lopsided smile,
And tacky hair-do?

I cannot see what
You had done to me,

To make me love those teeth,
And your hard-to-miss acne.

Maybe it was the way you said
My name, so lovingly -

Or the way your faults
Didn't matter to me.

Maybe it was your eyes -
Their own work of art,

That would light up as you smiled,
And melt my poor heart.

Or perhaps it was your mind
That captured me most,

Or maybe it was other things ;)
Who really knows?

All that I do know,
Is that I gave you my all -

And when the time came -
You still let me fall.

I'll never know why
I loved you so

And I'll never know why
I just watched you go

For the million reasons
Why you are imperfect, you see -

Make you that much more faultless,
And perfect to me.

You may be right,
About what I have done,

But I still love you,
You're still my number one.

And no matter what happens,
I know you'll still care,

Just thank you for everything,
And all the memories we've shared.
