The One
  Have you met The One?
  She sees every good thing
  And none of the bad
  You can stroke her hair
  Smell the scent of cinnamon    
  On her breath        
  Hear her perfect laugh                  
  When you crack a joke
  Feel your heart ache
  Every time she leaves you
  And find that little piece of heaven
  When you see her again
  Looking at the strawberries across the street
  The farmer’s market open
  When you eat one of those bright, juicy, sweet berries
  You are reminded of her, how they are her favorite
  Show her off to everyone you know
  This, that, and the other guy
  All turn their heads and wish they
  Had as perfect of a girl as you
  You knew what “love at first sight” meant
  The first time you saw her:
  Walking down the street,
  Her free flowing, laughing hair impossibly long
  That cute little smile as she walked by
  She knew those eyes 
  Of how you thought she looked so beautiful
  Her looks are ageless, from era to era
  Even Helen’s beauty would be considered meek, for a Greek
  She works harder than anyone
  But plays even harder
  Loves me like my mom
  Don’t tell her that (my mom is smarter)...*ahem*...what?
  If she plays a sport, maybe volleyball
  Where she tosses, jumps, and spikes the ball
  You see her in a place of power
  And when you visit her home, her castle
  And cuddle with her, very close
  The impossible softness of her skin
  A goddess in all of her glory 
  Where do you even begin to deserve her?
  That’s the thing: you don’t
  But she only sees good in you
  And sees you as her equal
  And that is when you realize
  You two knew your love was true
  And that she was The One.
