on loving audrey hepburn

scent and touch
the only things left up to my imagination about you
i know you're voice...light and enchanting
with the confidence of a woman, and that certain carelessness of a girl
an entrancing accent tinted with giggles
i know your smile...bright and perfect
startling, and selective in it's timing
and altogether possessing a beat-skipping quality
i know your hair...dark and brilliant
rolling and flowing like some meandering river
the scent of which only the luckiest could know
i know your eyes...god, do i know your eyes
incomparably beautiful
my words would be futility defined if i were to say more about them
i know your face...soft and kind
the vent of all knowledge and passion
the veiled chapters in the book of you
expressing the meanings behind what's read between the lines
i know your form...slender and natural
poised and elegant
a sexual thought, though natural, i purge
for the beauty of you surpasses hormones
surpasses words
to view you would be eternally beyond enough
i know your heart
your care for humanity
for those who needed help
you took upon your heart to to provide
to give a voice
i know your life...a whirlwind
an escape from the nazi empire
a stroke of luck
a string of films
a family
unicef
untimely death
i know some things...
i am just a guy
you were not perfect...i'm sure of that
but, you are a hero to me
being a female hero to a cynical male is indeed a compliment of the most honest type
you're my girl...at least that's what i tell people...hope you don't mind 
admiration, not obsession...i swear
