her walk can make your jaw drop
her smile can melt your heart
her kiss can send you soaring
like a rocket through the stars
 
her face is like an angel’s
her lips a ruby prize
her gaze a magic whirlpool
drawing into stunning eyes
 
I ache to hold her close
and fulfill her every dream
protect her from the demons
but a world stands in between
 
she’s all I ever wanted
she’s all I’ll ever need
