If They Could Only See

They came to tell your faults to me,
They named them over one by one;
I laughed aloud when they were done,
I knew them all so well before, --
Oh, they were blind, too blind to see
Your faults had made me love you more

That poem is Fault by Sara Teasdale. The message of it is pretty clear. When you like someone that your peers do not personally like, they will tend to ask why you like them. They will point out the person's flaws, trying to convince you that the person is not worth loving. I'm having that happen to me right now even though I'm not yet a grown-adult or had a relationship. Since I like my friend who honestly is really cute and he's really gullible and stuff, my friends(that know) are always like "What do you see in him?" I guess his faults like him being gullible or not being able to say no or his inability to sing actually made me just like him more.
