When We First Met

You were a smile when I needed it most

A laugh I didn't need to fake

Entertainment that interested me

I had to know you

We stayed long enough for me to try to forget you

You won me back with one phone call

Then, we stayed long enough to accumulate

A pet, a place, a lot of stuff

To mix with our baggage

We stayed out, to say we were living

Now, we stay in because we know living

We know we aren't perfect

But we say we're perfect for eachother

We love the flaws

Flawed enough, that we don't wonder if others are better

But your opinion matters

For me, I remember, always, you were a smile when I needed it most

That made all the difference
