Flawed Like Me

I am flawed: tainted, defective, tarnished.  Always wrong.  Always failing.

Not like you.  You're perfect.  Beautiful.  Flawless.

You make me look bad.

And sometimes I wish I could take you down a peg, distill you into something easier to swallow.
If only you were flawed like me, I wouldn't feel so guilty.

I turned away from you, and you ran after me.
I lost myself, and you searched for me.
I was broken, and you broke for me.

Perfection deserves perfection.  But you chose to love someone as imperfect as me.

Do you mind if I call that a flaw?
