Flaws and All
by Julie Lacksonen

You're always late - why won't you learn?
You drive too fast, don't signal to turn.
You brag a lot - you're way too proud.
You slurp your soup and chew too loud.
*
But even with your many quirks,
With you and I, our friendship works.
'Cause I love you, and you love me.
I'm yours, and you're my V.I.P.
*
You crack your knuckles and will not stop.
You smack your gum and make it pop.
You stand too close to others in line.
When you lose a game, you always whine.
*
But I am yours, and you are mine.
We suit each other well and fine.
And even though you often snore,
I know, my love, my flaws are more.
