100 percent
Nothing is completely, utterly
 Wholly, absolutely, fully, entirely 100%
 Not perfection or imperfection
 
 Not beauty or ugliness
 Not love or hate
 Peace or war
 Lies or truthfulness
 Not even bacterial disinfectant
 Everything is faceted
 Broken into parts
 Nothing is completely one thing
 Nothing is completely pure
 There is always something there to mess it up
 Whether it’s a misplaced atom in an element
 Or compassion in war
 Hate in peace
 Faithlessness in love
 Not everything is purely one thing
 No one is truly meant for another 
 In a perfectly set match
 There are fights and disagreements
 Disloyalty and treachery 
 Imminent on the horizon
 But that doesn’t mean that you can’t be perfect for one another
 In a perfectly imperfect way
 Because without those tiny pieces of imperfection
 Without the hard times
 The sad times
 The good ones wouldn’t exist
 So strive for that 99.9%
 Find that imperfect half
 That you love as if it were 100%
 Because that is rare enough in itself
 And just because you are just a little bit off
 It doesn’t mean you can’t round up
