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
