Imperfect
by Electric Fire

-Nokoru Inoyama-

What I needed
What I always needed,
Was to be loved.

Are there any things that are perfect?
Most people I know give me several answers.
I still don't understand them though.

Riches
Brains
Influence
What value do these things have?
Sure, they'll get you far in life,
but . . .
What is their value?

Money is a piece of cotton with a picture printed on it.
Brains let you think.
Influence makes people like you.
But this doesn't make you perfect.

Perfectness.
Is there such a thing?
Yes.
I know there is . . .
But I, Nokoru Inoyama, am not perfect.
There was never any doubt in my mind about that.

I always believed,
that you could tell what a person was like,
from their eyes.

Suoh's eyes were strict, but kind.
Akira's eyes were gentle, but mysterious.
My Duklyon Defenders, their eyes were brave and strong.
My Mother's eyes, sweet and spunky.

Everyone's eyes are different.
Just like I am different.
I am imperfect.
Yet, when I look at friends,
They are perfect.
Perfect Angels,

How could I not want to help them?
No one will need any assistance,
As long as I am . . .
I am . . .
I may always be . . .
Imperfect.
