To the lover I've never met
I can't imagine
how beautiful you are
Because to put you
within the limits of my mind
would be to dishonour you
Yet I imagine you
as glorious as the sun
as graceful as the skies by day
as precious as the air I breathe
as peaceful as streams of living water
Dear darling
If only you knew
How I yearn to behold your light
to see the warmth of your countenance
to see the only curve I'd ever need
which is your smile
To look upon you
and say
Darling
You are beautiful
Just the way you are
Yet I can't imagine
How beautiful you really are;
I can only dream so much
and I, not wanting to do you disservice.
For the lover I've never met:
when we do meet
we shall share in the warmth
of an embrace
And I shall realise
such a beauty I have yet
to behold.
