Flat on the Ground

I'm starting to realize just what I threw away

When I told you goodbye that cold autumn day

I thought you were the problem I couldn't answer

But it turns out I you were actually the only answer

I can't believe I didn't notice the way you'd pay attention

You caught onto the little things when I thought you didn't listen

You were perfectly perfect to me

I didn't deserve that

I'm sorry that I let you fall flat on the ground

You let me demand so many things

That didn't really matter

While all the time I wasn't noticing

What I should've been after

You listened to my favorite songs just to create them in real life

You learned everything about me, you let me call you mine

And all the time I spent telling you you were wrong

So much time I spent asking, asking for more

I can't believe I didn't notice the way you'd pay attention

You caught onto the little things when I thought you didn't listen

You were perfectly perfect to me

I didn't deserve that

I'm sorry that I let you fall flat on the ground

Do you remember that night

I told you I didn't love you

But you still held me tight

And told me you loved me every single night

Do you remember when

I told you I was done?

You promised me you'd change my mind

But I never let you try

I'm sorry I never noticed the way you laugh

The little things you did for me when I was sad

You were perfectly perfect to me

You're an amazing guy

I hope she doesn't let you fall flat on the ground

I hope she realizes just what she has found

And I hope she doesn't let you fall flat on the ground

This reminds me of an old saying: "Perfectly Imperfect". I think that most relations are defined as such. . . This is an example, of having to let go of the perfectly imperfect person.

It's always devastating to the heart once you realize something truly important like this, but far too late.. This really pierces the heart when read. Excellent write Sophy
