You did not lie, my lady, when you said
there were countless lovelier than yourself.
Nor did you utter falsehoods when you
said there were others more suitable for me.
But neither did I lie when I said that
You are and will remain to be the only one for me.
For although others will be
Taller, Smoother, Stealthier, Stronger. . .
It is you who I choose to love.
It is you who has given me life.
It is you who I have made queen.

allow me to dream as you lay beside me
your hand and mine firmly entwined.
allow me to dream that i am the love of your life,
that we share a passion no one can ever define.

allow me to sleep at night deep in slumber
rested in both actions and thoughts
knowing it will be my face you see in the morning
and that our love was a battle well-fought.

allow me to breathe deeply at night
your scent pervading my mind.
we both knew our lives would never be the same
right after the day you promised to be mine.

allow me to close my eyes today
allow me to pretend everything is ok.
still i know even if you are asleep beside me,
deep inside your heart, you yearn to be free

from me
