beautiful words

i wrote you a letter once
and i never got around to sending it,
probably because i never liked it.

i could never get the words to say
quite exactly what i meant,
and i didnt want you to get the wrong impression.

i didnt want to say that anything was your fault
and i didnt want you to think
that i was trying to be someone i'm not.

i remember you once you needed me,
your hair was a mess
and you hadn't put any make up on.

i never got over the fact
that you had let me see you like that;
i even felt vulnerable for you.

i never loved you as much as i did then,
because frankly,
perfection is a relative term.*
