An Ode to You

You are my everything, and you seem

at one moment like a sweet, sweet dream

and the next like a waking nightmare.

You are beautiful, but, i admit,

you are nowhere approaching perfect;

anything perfect's not really there.

It is a love and a hate that keeps me here,

even when what you do makes me shed a tear.

You go through phases, always changing,

moods fickle, always rearranging

what you've got - add this, throw away that.

Still, you can be kind; you can be sweet;

you like giving to most that you meet -

you would not leave everybody flat.

i know you can be good or bad, sad, happy -

different people look and different things they see.

You are my everything, and i know

when i leave you, i won't want to go -

won't want to cry or even be there.
