How perfect is a perfect love life for that dreaming girl?

 

By eighteen, she had folded herself into the shape of someone's 'almost'

Wrote poetry for boys who barely read instructions, let alone her love notes.

She gave second chances like breath. Took red flags as creative impressions.

Because no one tells the dreaming girl that 'perfect' is just an illusion. 

That the Instagram couple with matching captions sometimes sleep back-to-back in real life.
