Imperfect Perfection

Even after many hardships and failed relationships, just keep getting up and continuing forward and you will eventually find what you are looking for.

I feel homesick for the arms and heart that wants me in.
I feel heartache for the walls and comfort to call home.
And I fear that if it really is out there,
That my guiding North Star is lost in a sea of clouds.
I stand with a fixed gaze asunder as I wonder,
Was it all really worthwhile?
I close my eyes and I smile...
I hope you don't mind...
I'm not perfect at all (not in the slightest bit)
And I have all these flaws (more than I can count)
I'm full of mistakes, but out of all these mistakes...
If there was one take that wasn't a mistake (the one in a million)
Finding you will never be a mistake (not in a million years)
And I will be your imperfect perfection.
I'm only half without you.
So just close your eyes and look up to the stars in the skies,
I know if you just let your heart chart the course,
And take a deep breath and think of me,
You will find yourself in the arms of your true north.
And this will be my promise to you, we will be whole.
And as long as the Earth turns I will always need you.
I hope you don't mind...
I'm used and worn (but still sturdy)
I'm full of holes and torn (ready to be made whole)
And I'm full of mistakes, but out of all these mistakes...
If there was one take that wasn't a mistake (the one in a million)
Falling apart into your embrace will never be a mistake (not in a million years)
And I will be your imperfect perfection.
Finally after all of these years,
I have something that I have been waiting to give to you.
And with all these little hours,
All that remains will be ours.
So just take my hand and whisper to me,
All of those silent words left on your lips.
And I will be your imperfect perfection.

Author's Note

I tried doing this a little bit differently in hopes of a successful outcome. The () is supposed to be more of a softer undertone echo being said right after the main lines. Please read, comment and criticise. Hope you enjoy the read!
