I Might Be Perfect
In the tide of knowing, when I want where I need you.

Without you, I am perfect. Ether rushes in ether hastens out as tides of whitewashed din lap where I reside. I petition sleep for solemn comfort and hope only for solace when I die. Alas, it was only in the tide of knowing why I’m loved, I find when and where I thrive.

With you, I am imperfect. I wish to amuse in all the right moments a bearer of wine, conversation, and a mindful ear. An object of attraction in your eyes, I’m a dancer. I wish to be Everything, never compromising your freedom.
But then, if I were Everything I might be perfect, alone nihility for wanting, void of need. Thank goodness, then I thrive in the tide of knowing I am perfect in imperfection. When I want where I need you.
