Oh
yes, my dear,
Let
go of all your fear,
Special
you are, here and afar,
From
the moment you came to be,
And
not just because of me…
But
because of who you are.
-------------------------------------------------------
His
words make you feel special, you say:
For
you, in the middle of the darkest night
Facing down no end of fury, evil and might,
Dragons, demons, all dangerous creatures
he'll slay.
No
matter how deep the pain,
How much it seems to be in vain,
All
ruses and perils he will disdain
For
this love in his heart is insane.
Oh
beautiful maiden fair
Of
celestial eyes and golden hair,
Your
sweet voice with musical flair,
Should
never tremble with despair.
A
knight from the colonies of Spain,
Who
seeks in a magical quest from Above,
The
one he will truly and passionately love.
To
win your heart, he will strain.
But
it was before the beginning of life,
When
all was fire, earth, wind and water,
That
fate and destiny were set on this altar,
Two
future hearts melded, amidst the strife.
For
there is no doubt in his mind,
To
the truth, he cannot be blind
To
this, he swears by his star
For
he knows how special you are.
An
off he goes to pursue his fate,
Fearing
not any sort of being, small or great,
But
knowing that sometimes life plays tricks
On
some of the hearts it picks.
