In person, she is everything

The song "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran captures the essence of our love story. It's a song about finding that special someone, someone who makes you feel like you're home. For me, that someone was Emily.

Released in 2017 as the fourth single from his blockbuster album ÷ (Divide) , "Perfect" has become one of the most celebrated love songs of the 21st century. Ed Sheeran wrote the track specifically to outdo "Thinking Out Loud," aiming to create the "best love song of his career".

: One of the most famous lyrics— "Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song" —was inspired by a real night in Ibiza at singer James Blunt’s house. At 6:00 AM, Sheeran and Seaborn were dancing on the lawn to rapper Future's track "March Madness".

The lyrics are romantic without being overly complex, focusing on a deep friendship turning into love.
