You take my breath away like a Degas on the wall
Every time you look at me, deeper and deeper I fall
Your transcendent eyes are a mystical blue
That draw me in like a mysterious clue
I can’t resist, you’re like a bright red button that says “do not press”
And you’re everything I’ve ever wanted, I would not settle for less
When choosing my outfits I dress to impress you
I never thought I’d hit a point where my love for you grew
I compare you to the sun not because it’s easy
But because you light up my world, especially when you tease me
Then I see you smile and I can’t help but grin
Every time you laugh, for me it’s an internal win
My simple metaphors mean little to people
But they’re the best way I describe you and hold you higher than the steeple
The beauties in life are encapsulated inside
Like a perfectly cooked dinner, all evenly fried
Or a little purple flower growing through cement
Or even a flawless apple with not a single dent
You are the reason that life continues
You never leave my mind and you fix most of my issues
Please stay beside me like a swan with its mate
I hope my deep love for you isn’t too late
