He's not perfect. Neither are you. The two of you will…
“He's not perfect. Neither are you. The two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, it causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn't going to quote poetry, he isn't thinking about you all of the time, but he is giving you a piece of him that he knows you could break. Don't break him, and don't change him, and don't expect anything more than he can give. Don't analyze. Smile when he makes you happy.”
