Almost perfect

40 days

You said we were "almost perfect".
You said it in frustration.
Because we were only perfect,
When I gazed upon you in adoration.

You said we were "almost perfect".
Did you mean it at the time?
Because we were only perfect
Whilst I was ignorant of your lies.

You said we were "almost perfect".
Oh, I wanted it to be true!
But we were only perfect
Whilst the spotlight was on you.

I thought you were perfect
Til your coldness came to light.
You thought that I was perfect
When I believed you to be right.

Now that I know that we weren't perfect.
Far from it, sad to say.
My vision is near perfect
From a distance of 40 days.
