one life time will never do

I don't know much about you
but the little bit that I do know
It's enough for me
to make my admiration for you to grow

You said that you are not special
And there is not much to admire
And just like a warranty
In time my admiration will expire

You said there are many glamorous girls
That would soon catch my eyes
Girls who are like champagne and caviar
And not a girl like a burger and fries

You said that I shouldn't waste my time
Because you are no dream come true
It's just not worth the effort
To waste time on a simple girl like you

But I am a believer in fairy tales
And I am a believer in you
And you don’t believe that you are magical
But wasn’t Cinderella a simple girl too

I wish you could believe me when I say
I never knew that a woman like you exist
You are one of a kind, girl
And mysterious like the morning mist

And I know that we were going to be close
From the first time that we met
And you better get used to hearing how amazing you are
Because it's something I won't let you forget

And I won't go away
Giving up is something that I won't do
And I know that once you see I'm not going anywhere
Then you will realize that my feelings are true

I have fought for your attention
And proudly wears the scars as a décor
just to be held in your arms
it’s a battle that's worth fighting for

you are flawed like all human, it's true
but you are perfect for me
beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
and you are all that I see

a woman like you is worth every effort
and I would gladly prove it all
the love in my heart is mightier
than Samson and Goliath and the Niagara Falls

I am just mesmerized by you
With your girlish and rugged attitude
And you shook my world to the core
Just like an earthquake of enormous magnitude

A simple girl you are is true
And you are all that I need
And I want you to know how much you mean to me
And I hope that in time I will succeed

Just like the stars needs the night
To illuminate its true beauty
I need you in my life
To shine your light on me

Without you, there is no tomorrow
No reason for the morning to dawn
A picture of love that didn’t materialize
Long enough for it to be drawn

Life is full of uncertainties.
Around the corners, we don't know what's there
Let me walk this journey of life with you
Without worries and without fear

One lifetime will never be enough
To enjoy sharing nights and days with you
To tell you how much I love you and how much I need you
One lifetime will never do

    What a beautiful ode to a loved one. Beauty will always be in the eye of the beholder and when you find true love they will always be perfect for you regardless of any flaws that they might perceive.

    That's what love is- loving someone despite any irritations because when that person is perfect just for you -things that might irritate you in other people just don't with them, they just fade into insignificance because the feelings of love are so strong.

    The vicar who married myself and my husband said to us both. "Just think of all the billions of people in this world that you could have chosen from and you chose each other and that makes each of you - to each other the most important person in the world and if you can treat each other like that - putting each others needs before your own - you will have a happy marriage and he was right.

    If you put each others needs before your own you never get tied up with "I want or he/she should" Instead your drive to make each other happy before yourself results in you both being happy.

    This is a poem that will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced love.. Milly x
