Me And Her...

She is the one who I will treasure now and forever
Her shining, silky brown hair blows in the breeze, making me halt to a freeze
Could it be her face; the rosy cheeks, crystal blue eyes or bright red lips
Warming my heart, making it race? Her love I will embrace and that kiss…
Every dreaded night and day, she who I am away from, I truly miss
Even a few hours after parting feels as painful as a death sentence
I feel, I know, I can always be true to her as she is to me
I can be real, be myself, without lying or even hiding anything else
My darkest secrets are opened and see the light at last
She says to me that she won’t tell before I even ask
To me she is the magnificent soul mate I have thankfully gained
Who I am honoured to have and be bonded with, in an eternal love chain
Only we and we alone can decide each others’ fate
Whether we become famous millionaires or someone great
She makes me positively happy, someone I could never say no to
Hand in hand, arms in arms, lips on lips, heart for heart together forever!
