If seconds were prolonged to hours
And days become years
This rosy love of ours
Will forever blossom and conquer my fears.

If asked to judge and compare
The silkiness of her hair with the mane of a mare
Or the charm of her eyes with the radiance of a star
It would be a comparison so unfair
Like the Pacific in scale with the Nile.

Enchanted stand I amazed
At how perfect her skin and face,
Modeled and sculptured by the Most High in all His grace,
Radiates and leaves me dazed.

With lush lips like cupids bow
And eye brows like that of an Arabian princess
She whispers to my heart and soul
Calling out to me ever since pubescence.

Her heart beats to me from afar
For distance doth keep us apart
She needs not ask me how good she looks,
For even I think its pretty when she nags.
She needs not comtemplate for a change
For there's one song I have for her,
"You're amazing just the way you are."

I know not why but one thing I know
Even if there's not a farthing I own,
Just for me to call you mine
Is enough to make me the happiest man.
