You Are Special

 

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.
