Pondering at the ground

Of my bedroom floor

Clothes and books tossed everywhere

Items tossed without any care

Except one, perfection can never be

At least it is surreal

A myth, a fantasy

Perfection doesn't exist

It is something I strive to be

Not as perfect, as drones do

A fan club that moans about you,

Never seeing beyond your pretty face

Never seeing anything special

Never letting to many embrace

But when you grasped me oh so tight

I choked, I felt alright

But somehow I just had to say

To ruin another perfect way

Your first name, may I call you?

You just blankly, sweetly state to me

"Of course, say it"

I reply,

You knew

I said it again

My lips you encounter

And lock into an embrace

I was blushing heavenly

That I could not help,

But allow a smile

Linger on my face.

Then later on

You seem to say

That come the Spring you would move away

I felt lonely, knowing you would soon walk away

But you invite me, in the summer holidays

To spend some time with me

Saying it with a pleasant grace

Picking out bento and gardening,

Or momento, anything that would put a smile on your face

Or to be otherwise carefree, along with you

It isn't perfect, I would have to

Wait patiently for you.

Till your graduation day

Kakera, he seems to be watching over me carefully

Like something in this head

He just won't be, satisfied until he talks with me

But then you show me a spare key

Allowing me stay, with you whenever I wished to anyway

But suddenly, without a care, you revert it back

To only teasing and flirting shamelessly

You're not perfect,

But you're true

A loyalty resisted

Within your heart

Just for me and you.

But your madden me,

When you reply,

Sorry, but you're cute this way.

I smirk, prepared to fight

But you hand me the key

From your pocket

I treasure you,

I understand you too

You really care

You are truly

Always there

So summer, we stay

Other days I'll visit

Maybe after a year

Hardships we'll go through

At the end of the year,

I wish to be right beside you.

Hardly perfect

Nothing really is

Bar only one thing

Our love, our lives,

Hardly perfect

Except I could spend some time with you

That is perfect

For a dream

As life is hardly perfect

Without you
