In a Perfect World

In a perfect world
You would never be out of reach.
Without telepathy I could read your thoughts
And they would be perfectly like mine.
Each morning you would wake up wrapped around me
And my breath would smell fresh
And last night you didn’t snore.
Your kisses would taste like ripe cherries
And I would never miss your lips.
In the middle of the day, you would call
Because we have nothing else to do but love each other.
That’s our job and it pays well.
I would never tell you my secrets because I would have none.
You would never have to forgive me
Because I am perfect
And I would never have to cry
Because you are too.
Instead of waiting, I would have found you sooner
And you would love me forever.
In a perfect world
I would have never cursed us with perfection.
