SEEKING PERFECTION

With breathless anticipation
I opened up his letter -
Sent by special delivery;
His love was getting better!

I ponder as I read the lines
So perfect an admirer he!
How was I to know then
Our dreams could never be!

With tears falling slowly
I picked up my pen and pad,
And sent him back a letter
Telling him he was a cad!

Love is never perfect -
And sometimes we don't win;
Yet I was seeking perfection
When I said "yes" to him.
