Youβre not giving up
Nor will I give in
These tiny battles of ours will turn into a war
Two lovers in the ends of a warzone
Petty arguments
Little fights
Bickering, being at each otherβs throats
Agreeing then disagreeing
A war of words and emotions
Careless mistakes
Disguised anger
Sheer jealousy
Little white lies
Relationships arenβt quintessential in nature
Never completely free from faults
Frailty hidden between corners
Achilles heel waiting to be ascertain
All these flaws
Like tiny fragments of a broken glass
Never dare to sweep it under the rug, pick it up
Such imperfections weight the fragility of humans
So we fight off these little flaws and faults
Truthfully, these are just naked truths of ourselves
βCause honey, nobodyβs perfect
Love stories then and now
Arenβt meant to radiate our imperfections
What would happen then to all our perfects?
Little as they may be too, they will fade away
