it means that he has found the perfect mate for him, not perfect for anyone just for. Just like when you find someone who matches with you.

In fact it is about his perfect girlfriend Cherry, the singer Ed himself said this. It's a dedication to his high-school friend who was waiting for him to make a move after he quit high school and became famous.

It is a song every person knows, it is highly talked about but well deserved.
Imagine if we had no secrets, no respite from the truth. What if everything was laid bare the moment, we introduced ourselves?

This song has been my fave before and while gradually internalizing its meaning, I came across appreciating the piece more. Maybe a perfect song for my wedding.

it means that he found someone who is not actually perfect but he sees him as perfect with her flaws

One of my all-time favourite songs. The song and lyrics are as perfect as the title suggests. When I first heard this song, it had a certain aura about it. The lyrics were profound. Those who truly love someone would see them as perfect no matter who they are.

A person that is willing to give and sacrifice, to share our ups and downs, in sickness and in health, in richer or poorer, a man or woman that will spend with us the true love.
Beautiful interpretation. Ed Sheeran is a great singer. Thinking this deep means the song is heartfelt.

The song's lyrics, in my opinion, are truly beautiful. Are you kidding me? If you dedicate this song to someone, you can anticipate more than butterflies or even a whole zoo from your other half. :'))

Unconditionally loving someone and viewing them as perfect. Even when y'all grow old and don't look the same.

“Perfect” is a track written and sung by renowned vocalist Ed Sheeran. The subject of the song is a British woman by the name of Cherry Seaborn who, in addition to being a childhood friend of Ed is, as can be ascertained from the lyrics of “Perfect”, his love interest.

In the song, the title is descriptive of the traits one wishes in a partner. The artist reveals of his relationship with a girl for a few years and wonders how to get that perfect partner.
