I have a lot of flaws

I have a lot of heart

Though I won’t like to hear it at first

I will find a way to improve

Whatever may bother you

Just come and tell me

Talk to me about everything

Don’t assume I know

Especially if it seems obvious

I have a lot of damages

I have a lot of determination

When I choose you

I will do whatever it takes to improve

All I need is your patience

Your faith in me

Please understand

Sometimes my energy

Is like moving on lasting fumes

I may go slow

But I won’t give up

I’m willing to do the work

To earn forever with you
