Perfect Are We?

We needed this moment

After such a busy work week

Your text came through

Made my heart skip a beat

Why didn't I reach out sooner?

Pride kept me in the dark

Better late than never

To mend what fell apart

I miss your touch, your smile, your laugh

The way you'd look at me

Do you think it's possible?

To find what used to be

We were perfect, weren't we?

Lost in our own world

We were perfect, baby

Before life came unfurled

We were perfect together

Now I wonder if we still could be

Maybe just a bit wiser

Since I learned how to love, you see

Let's catch up

For old time's sake, just you and me

Share bits and pieces together

Of who we've grown to be

The nervous glance, familiar hands

The rhythm of your voice

Reminding me of everything

That once was my choice

I miss your touch, your smile, your laugh

The way you'd look at me

Do you think it's possible?

To find what used to be

We were perfect, weren't we?

Lost in our own world

We were perfect, baby

Before life came unfurled

We were perfect together

Now I wonder if we still could be

Maybe just a bit wiser

Since I learned how to love, you see

Time apart taught me lessons

That I never knew I needed

Your absence filled the spaces

Where my growth had been impeded

We were perfect, weren't we?

Lost in our own world

We were perfect, baby

Before life came unfurled

We were perfect together

Now I wonder if we still could be

Maybe just a bit wiser

Since I learned how to love, you see

We needed this moment

To remember who we are

Maybe we're still perfect

Just perfect from afar
