best man

you have a million suitors 

anyone who meets you

becomes entranced by your beauty

the better men try to look a little deeper

they fall in love with your sense of humor

your intelligence, your integrity

i like to think i am better

than the better men

i fell in love with your humanity

i fell in love with your genuinity 

you are the beginning of every happy moment

and selfishly, i want all those happy moments to only belong to me

i want to roll over in the middle of the night

and kiss you, just because

i want to walk through forests with you

and fight every war in your head

and triumph every time.

you make me a better man,

than the better men

and arrogantly,

i think i am the only one

who deserves to be yours.
