Dragon

The dragon is watching

Our treacherous journey

Each step taken side by side

I step left to dodge an arrow

You rush forward to stop it

Always taking my arrows for me

I didn’t think you would be the one

Remarkable friend you were

An unlikely candidate for love

It must’ve been destined from above

The dragon must’ve seen it

As he watches, but fails to swoop

There’s something here I know it

But I fear the consequences

I fear the end

It’s easy to believe love lasts forever

That it shines in the moonlight and stars, however

We know better than that my love

It flits like a hummingbird above

So I will cherish you, for as long as I can

Knowing you’ll take my arrows like a man

Regardless of my fears

The dragon is waiting
