Proposal

Teddy.15

 
I have
a diamond eternity ring
 
but I've lost one of its diamonds 
 
my husband asked me once
 
did I want to have the diamond replaced?
 
but I don't think I would
 
because every time I look down at it 
 
on my now ageing hand
It reminds me that...
 
things don't have to be perfect 
not even my marriage.

    Wow this was sad

    • Teddy.15

      Why on earth would it be sad? 🌹

      • Demar Desu

        I guess I want perfection

        • Teddy.15

          We all have our own idea of perfect so I hope you find yours dear Demar. 🌹

          What a wonderful metaphor my friend and so true in an imperfect world where imperfection is good enough and those that search for perfection will never be happy.

              Teddy, this carries a quiet, grounded truth… something worn, imperfect, and still full of meaning. The way you hold that without trying to fix it gives it real strength. It stays with you. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                  True perfection is imperfect Shirley.

                  Nice write.
