I am yours

For sometime now,
I’ve been thinking of you.
The girl I admire and adore,
the only girl I love and favor.

I wish to be your shield,
Your fortress, your defense.
The person you turn to
Your only refuge.

I wish to relieve you of your pain,
to stop your grief,
to attend to your wounds,
to heal your broken heart.

All this I do, not because you’re mine,
Nor you are my girl,
But because I am yours,
And that I am here to love you.
