She didn’t think twice,<\/p>\n
If I deserved all the love,<\/p>\n
That she was sending my way,<\/p>\n
That she was spending so generously.<\/p>\n
She loved me for who I was,<\/p>\n
Why do I need a mirror when I have her,<\/p>\n
Her eyes reflecting my face in the sunshine,<\/p>\n
My mind wondering who shone better,<\/p>\n
Her or the sun.<\/p>\n
Put me above herself,<\/p>\n
Her joy when she saw me,<\/p>\n
Convincing me I was worth more than I was.<\/p>\n
The best face to look at,<\/p>\n
After a long day of waiting.<\/p>\n
Her,<\/p>\n
In all of her glory,<\/p>\n
Tail wagging,<\/p>\n
Heart soaring,<\/p>\n
Mind brimming with thoughts,<\/p>\n
Of her and her alone.<\/p>\n
