The Man of My Life
The minute you saw me, you gave me a smile,
Since then, you never left even for a while.
In your deep eyes, I am the sun that glared out of clear sky,
I see your love. I see your care,
Difficult to express in words, a fact I can't deny,
But how I feel I'll try to share.
If I could write a story until I'm very old,
I'd write about my man, for he has a heart of gold.
He is not a known star, neither a hero nor
A bodybuilder or one whom girls would adore!
He is the best man to me,
In my darkness, in my light,
In my falls and in my height,
There he will always be.
He is the healer of my pains,
He is the blood within my veins.
He is so faithful, warm hearted and he is true,
He trusts me and believes in whatever I do.
He gifted me a name, I would ask for another,
carries the meaning of Faith, it was loved even by my mother.
The only man who loves me unconditionally,
Accepts me as I am, nothing additionally.
He taught me how to stand alone,
To take every step on my own.
To speak up my mind and not to fall in tears,
To continuously be strong and face my fears.
Not to be afraid of saying the truth,
Even if for others, it would not be smooth.
When I faced all alone the people who accused and who wronged me,
He clapped proudly and said to all, "That's my girl I want to see!"
He had taught me my worth and that I'm precious,
I have my thoughts,
I have my opinions,
I have my goals,
To not ask for less and to be ambitious.
For only he I would say, "I love you",
As for other men, I would not dare to.
If I did in my past
that meant I once put you as a crystal star on my sky,
And I thought it would last,
but when it dropped,
I then realised,
My sky still looks beautiful when it is clear day and night.
yes, it's
The man of my life who taught
me this!
until now, whenever I'm away for a while,
He would ask about me with a smile,
"I miss her mischievousness,
"I miss her loudness",
"Oh the house is full of quietness!"
I've learnt from him to keep my precious heart,
Only for my siblings, kids and to be smart,
He taught me not to ever give up,
No matter how life is tough,
To let go of those who didn't value
my existence in their lives, it's enough!
Though I'm a woman now,
he still gets paranoid when I'm sick,
Not wanting me to do what I can't bare
nor things I can't pick.
Oh dad, if you ask for my eyes,
you are the only man I would give!
Because of you, I am who I am today
and as long as I live.
I will never think to hide,
I will hold my head up high,
and carry myself with pride.
I am the queen of my world, for he,
I am lucky to have him around me,
The Man of My Life will always be.
