Will you still love me even if I’m not perfect? Will you still love me even if I’m not the kind of person you wish I were? Will you still look into my eyes with warmth even if you saw my shadows? Will you still hold my hand even if you knew there will be times I’d let you down?
For though I yearn to take care of you as I should, though I desire to love you with a love that never falters and fades, my knees tremble this very moment that you hold me in your arms.
Shall I kiss you? Shall I hold your hand and bask in the light of your spirit knowing that I have my darkness, knowing there will be times that the light of my love will sometimes be overshadowed by the darkness that is in me?
Sometimes I’d be silent and I might bore you. I may not laugh at your jokes, and you may not understand the spell that’s enshrouding me. Sometimes I’d get troubled and I’d fail to put into words what the hell it is that troubles me. I wouldn’t be good company then, and I couldn’t make you smile.
Sometimes I’d get moody and I might not enjoy the things you’d like us to do together. Sometimes I’d lose my temper and I’d no longer act like the fine person who stands before you today. Sometimes I’d get jealous and I might say things I don’t really mean. Sometimes I’d talk too much that I might drive you away.
Sometimes I’d get touchy and I’d get easily hurt. And no matter how mature I try to be, at times I’d act in childish ways. I’d demand things I shouldn’t, I’d say things I shouldn’t say. And no matter how much I desire to protect you and make you happy, sometimes I’d be the one who’d cause you the most pain.
If you will love me I cannot promise you that I will not hurt you. I cannot promise you that I will not make you cry and that I’ll never break your heart. But if you will love me, I will bare my whole self naked before you, and I will reveal to you my soul. If you will love me, you can be certain that it is I that you will love, not a mask that fools you and gives you only what your eyes desire to see. If you will love me, you can be certain that you will love the depths of me, all of me that is in me, and I in turn will love you with all of me, with all my soul, with all my mind, with all my spirit, with all my flaws and beauty, and with all my very heart.

Thanks! 🙂 always take care and do drop by and visit here from time to time.
My love for you is not related to your actions. It is related to how I feel when I love you, and you can’t take away this feeling of mine, no matter what you do. Besides, what are flows, anyway? There are no flaws, as nobody was intended to be perfect.

A great article! I’d like to say exactly these words to my boyfriend ’cause I know I’m not that perfect yet I love him from the depth of my soul! Thank you very much, dear Jocelyn!
-Autumn Eliza
You boyfriend is blessed to have you, Eliza!
Beautifully expressed.
None of us are or could ever hope to be perfect. But, true love covers a multitude of sins.
So wonderfully written!
Blessings to you!
Blessings to you, too, Martha!
I wonder why we struggle so much with our imperfections when no one is imperfect….But love pure and strong helps us to accept ourselves for who we are – flaws and all. Great post, @abbiejoice:disqus
A love that is pure and strong, I would like to keep that in mind and in my heart, Corinne. Feels wonderful! 😀
I love how you have expressed this. It is beautiful and oh so very true of us all. I don’t want my mask to be loved, I want to be loved for the real faulted me that I am. I also want to love in the same way, pushing masks aside.
Hello, Jan! Sending you some of that love today =)
Unconditional love is a beautiful thing…When we can except those we cherish, faults and all…including ourselves and accept sometimes the pain we bring by default because none of us are perfect. My first time visiting…I look forward to returning. 🙂
Thank you, Jessica! I’m looking forward also to seeing you back 🙂
You pay a high price by trying to be perfect. The price you pay if not recognized sooner then later is: Who are you really? Are you trying to be perfect for them? I struggled with trying to live my life to perfect, I have learned to be balanced.
We do need find our balance, Cathy, and do only what we can.
To love someone in the purist form, regardless of their imperfections, is a grand love to have found. What a beautifully written post. Thank you for sharing!
I’m glad you liked it, Mary! I do hope we all find such a pure love 😉
That’s very true.

This is so beautiful Jocelyn. Each and every line speaks that of my heart.
True love is tested when heartbeats aren’t same as it was when you first lay eyes on the person. I will surely keep on following your posts.
More power to you!
While reading this post I suddenly realised that a lot of the time I wear the mask that others place on me i.e. a mask of their making. Could this be my struggle – a lot to think about.
