You Can Be Flawed (Do You Believe in a Perfect Mate?)

You can be flawed
Because, honestly, who isn’t?
We each carry emotional baggage from one relationship to the next
Until the load becomes too much for one person to carry
But maybe
We can lift this together

You can be flawed
Because I don’t want to change you
I accept you the way you are (flaws and all)
But if you want to be better then I want to help you
I want to be able to uncover your lost innocence
Not out of pity
But because having you in my life makes me better

You can be flawed
Because, baby, I am too
I came from a dysfunctional family
I fear rejection
I am an imperfect perfectionist who realizes his own imperfections
You not only accept that
You respect it

You can be flawed
Because I want to grow with you
Be part of your healing process
Witness your evolution firsthand
Pick you up when you fall
And be that encouraging voice in your head

You can be flawed
Just don’t be crazy
Because there’s just some things that can’t be fixed
I ain’t trying to be your daddy
I want to be your partner
Equals, that see eye to eye
My support will always be there but I can’t be Him
Or take the fall for His mistakes

You can be flawed
But to me, you’re perfect
All of your quirks make you unique
An individual
Not to sound cliché
But your imperfections draw me to you
Like a moth to a flame

You can be flawed
Because without those personality hiccups
You would be a different person
Someone other than who I know
Who I love
And at the end of the day
You and your flaws are all I want
All I need

Fin!

Do you believe that your soul mate has to be “perfect?” If so, how do you define perfection? Are you willing to compromise on certain things on your list of ideals for someone you truly love unconditionally? Have you ever overlooked someone’s flaws because of love? Did the relationship last or did those flaws eventually ruin the relationship? What are some flaws that you just can’t overlook?

Speak your piece…

Naked with Socks ON is what I like to call a “life blog,” where people come to discuss everything from sex and relationships to music and movies to politics and technology. It’s an open forum for discussions about a wide array of topics that people from all walks of life can appreciate and relate to. As for the name, I decided on NakedWithSocksOn (or NWSO) because it’s symbolic of how I write. I reveal everything while still leaving something to the imagination. Ask me a question and I will give you an answer. It will be honest. It will come from the heart. It may embarrass me. At times, it will be painful for me to share. But I will sacrifice bits of myself to impart knowledge on my fellow man and for the sake of telling a damn good story. So that’s why I am NakedWithSocksOn.
