A boy and a girl

She's a girl, and that's it

He's a boy, and a little more

She wants to be good

He is

She tries, but sometimes, it seems too much

He succeeds with what he does

She wants to be good enough

He thinks she is

It's a surprising situation

When a boy as perfect as him

Thinks a girl as flawed as her

Is worth a lot more

The credit isn't properly given

Not to him, and not to her

He's good and smart

She's got a kind heart

It's obvious that she sees

The good in him, what he tries to be

It's obvious he loves her

The flaws inside, the imperfections she tries to hide

They're not perfect

They're not a couple

It's  exactly what I'd call love

It's friendship, it's trust

On the days when her hair frizzes out

And everything seems to fall down

He picks her up

And brushes her off, wiping away her frown

She saves him from the darkness

Picks him up, and makes him smile

She takes away the bad for a moment

Makes him feel good inside

She was once a girl

Filled with optimistic wonder

He was once a boy

Heart whole, filled with innocence

Things change, but it's still there

Only tarnished with the age

Slowly added on

To each of their brains

She still believes in magic

But not love at first sight

He still sees the good in the world

Even in the darkest of nights

She still wants to be good

He still wants to succeed

And someday, they'll do it

They'll find their dreams

Together, they know

The world's upside down

But it's okay

It's easier to see things that way

She laughs, and it fills a room with light

He smiles, and she's never seen anything so bright

It's that spark in his eyes

It's how she doesn't  bother to lie

Her guard is let down

Whenever he's around

He's got a crack in his amour 

For the girl

Could it be that they were under the impression life was perfect?

No one will ever know.

It's simple to say

Perfect is how it became
