If Life Was Perfect

by ifiwereapig

How would my life have changed
If it was perfect and not deranged
It's hard to say how it would be
But I would be free of all misery?

I can only describe the past as it was
It was something I've always dreamed of
My life wasn't perfect when she came unto me
But she made it better than it's been lately

I'll talk about now or the present if you will
And how she continues to bring me thrills
I like to take it one day at a time
Having fun til we've spent the last dime.

I'll predict the future which is too easy
You can always describe the perfect dream
If it hasn't happened yet then anything is possible
Making dreams come true certainly is plausible.

It began a while back when I was sulking in sorrow
Looking for a reason to not wake up tomorrow
I went through the motions day after day
I earned my keep for which I had little to pray

I wanted attention to show me I'm needed
I wanted a woman to tell me she's heated
Then I saw her staring into my eyes
I have to admit it was quite a surprise.

Since that night we have tried to overcome
The obstacles that try to make us succumb
To the weight they bear and height that towers
Some things cannot be solved if we continue to cower

But we have worked around the eventual pain
Coming together in the sun and the rain
Making the best of what we have been given
To enjoy one another to the fullest we are driven

The future can only be told with absolute pleasure
Because perfection is not something you can measure
Complete and utter happiness is what we will achieve
Misery and pain will be avoided in this dream

We will stand true through the waves of trouble
We will comfort each other when the pain seems double
We will begin to understand, grow, and flower
Believing in my perfect dream's power

We will live together as one, no troubles or worries
Traveling the world and battling arctic flurries
Learning new things and achieving our dreams
Prosperity will follow us as we continue to succeed

If a perfect world this would be true
What could happen if I was with you
But until it happens and we claim our thrones
True happiness will be eluded and prosperity postponed.

Luckily for me this not what I need
I do not need live life perfectly
I only need a woman that will love me with honor
To whom I will be available without emotional armor.

I have shed my chains and tossed away the shield
I have opened my eyes and seen the open field
I found in the field a budding treasure
Saying "here I am, I'm yours" ..you are my pleasure
