Your Knight


I’ll be your knight in shining armor
 
So please don’t go away
 
I will love and protect you
 
For as long as you shall live.
 
Though my armor may be dull
 
And my body not as strong
 
I will lay down my life
 
My soul,
 
My being,
 
My all,
 
For you,
 
My love
 
So that you may love me as I love you.
 
We are not perfect
 
(You and I both)
 
You with your temper,
 
I with my strength.
 
I flaunt my faults and oddities proudly
 
And relish yours with mine.
 
Together we could be perfect
 
(You and I both)
 
For one and one makes one.
 
Imperfection and imperfection make perfection.
 
I may not be strong
 
I may not be swift.
 
My sword may not be the sharpest
 
And my arrows not the straightest.
 
But, my love, I swear upon the highest truth
 
My will power does not fail
 
My mind is quick.
 
My hands will never hurt you
 
And my love for you will never end.
 
So I will be your knight in the dull armor
 
So please look this way.
 
I will love you, and I will protect you
 
For as long as I may live.
 
I will be there for you
 
My love
 
And although you may not see it
 
Hear it
 
Notice it
 
Notice me
 
I will be there
 
For my love for you is strong
 
Although my blade is not
 
And one day
 
I wish that you may love me
 
As I love you.
