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 wished 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.
Sometimed 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 thing 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.

Hi Jocelyn,
I just happened to bump into your blog as I was searching the web for a quote on “Freedom of the Spirit”. I have to say that I’m amazed, flabbergasted, impressed…you name it; with your prayers, poems, etc. You certainly have a gift for writing! I just wanted to congratulate you and ask if it’s okay that I share some of these beautiful texts with my friends - giving you the credit of course. I also wanted to ask you where you’re from, I’m interested in learning more about you since I don’t find many people these days who think like you do. If you’re interested in making new friends, I would feel honored to become one. Anyways, most of all I just wanted to say…keep up the good work! You are making a difference in the lives of those of us who come across your blog. Thank you!
Love, Polly

who wants to date a washed up fat guy that has no job and struggles with mental issues “depression”
I can never be perfect.. I’ll never be wanted. I’ve die and never have the joy of being married
Your “Will You Still Love Me Even if I’m Not Perfect?”
brought tears to my eyes. You speak what’s in my heart.
God’s Best to you always,

@Mia - how blessed am I to hear such words from you.
@Pollyana - Those are such generous words, thank you! I’m here now in Manila, you can add me at facebook if you like, hope we do get a chance to know each other better
@monica lala - God bless you too! Thanks for visiting here ;-D
@Patrick - ‘never’ is a very strong word to say,we can never really tell what will happen the next moment. I’ve used that word too, many times. And I hope that like me, you’ll find out that ‘never’ doesn’t always have to mean a very long time.
wow….what a great words…it’s so touchy…
@Amanda - Glad to hear that!
