Imperfection

When you're here
We love
Laughter, joy
The thrill of being together

When you're here
We spar
Yes, no, whatever
We can't stand each other

When you're here
While together
We're sometimes apart
But that's our perfect imperfection

Today, we say goodbye
On the brink of tears
Lump in throat
I miss you already

Being together isn't always easy
Neither are goodbyes
But if I am to choose
Give me the former

I wish you were here
With me, imperfectly together
