We are far too romantic for our own good
We want that lover in our life
Who will think the world of us
And will love us no matter what
But guess what
Ain’t gonna happen;
The person you fall in love with
You will love only certain traits
And certain aspects of their being
Some aspects of theirs might irritate you to no end
But do not stop loving them anyway
Because if you wait for perfect love to arrive
Either in yourself or from others
You will wait a long. long time, my friend
Maybe for eternity
For we all are imperfect beings
And unless we accept those imperfections
In ourselves and in others
We will keep waiting forever for love to arrive at our doorstep.
Even if something about her irritates you
Keep loving her anyway
And keep forgiving her and yourself
For your imperfect love for each other.
Know Thyself
