"In Search of Perfection"



In search of perfection.
Perfect for me.
Perfect together.
Respectful Debates.
Compromise.
Consideration.
Acceptance. 
Comfort.
Sustainability.
Easiness.
Joy.
Myth.
Myth?
Neuroses telling me so.
Telling me it doesn't feel right because I want too much.
Do I?
Telling me it's not possible.
Is it?
When will the words; 'you're sweet', 'you have a good heart', 'I like you', 'you're beautiful',
turn into; 'and I want to be with you', 
instead of; 'it's just not right'?
When will it be enough? And for who?
Optimism.
Optimism?
In search of perfection.
Perfect sets of flaws matching together.
Staying together.
Navigating the ups and downs of life.
A life lived.
A life shared.
In search of perfection.
A void 'I' cannot fill. 
The hope an 'us' can.
The wish that 'I' could.
