Perfect (Complications and All)

Nothin' but thinkin' out loud

I called her

Little Miss Perfect...

But she wasn't at all

No, she was quite

Far from small

And not actually a Miss

As I recall

But she was perfect enough

For me to fall

Complications and all

What a touching and beautifully honest poem! Your words capture the essence of love and the imperfect perfection we find in those who mean the most to us. The playful irony in calling her "Little Miss Perfect" despite her not fitting the literal description highlights the way love sees beyond the surface. The closing lines, where you acknowledge falling for her "complications and all," resonate deeply with the truth that love embraces the whole person, imperfections included. Your poem is a wonderful reminder of the beauty in our unique connections with others.

I love this one, Jim. Complications seem to disappear when we are attracted to someone. You should think out loud more often! Lydi**
