It's been a long time since I told
You just how beautiful you are,
Not because you ceased to be,
But because nothing equates to you
Anymore --
The seas of metaphor ran dry and
The mines of simile caved in,
And only you remained, my
Warm quilt, my gorgeous
Wonder, my one and only, my
Siren angel, my
Dearest sweetest love --
So forgive this lazy bastard,
For forgetting you needed
Reminding.
