Dark Beauty

We meet in a forest, I say “Hello Dear”
And then she moves close, and I hold her near.
My heart she has captured, though I gave it easily
To this dark beauty, who stands here beside me.

To find this love, I know I am blessed
She touches my heart with her gentle caress
Such happiness is known by so few on this earth
I hope that some day I may show her my worth

She speaks of her love for me, and I’m thrilled
My spirit soars, and my heart is fulfilled.
While I have her love, I have nothing to fear,
For now I know heaven on earth, it is here.

But then I awake, once more from my sleep
She is not here, and I start to weep
No talking of love, my dream’s at an end
I just go to work, and say “Hello friend”.

And while my love has not been returned
She still has my heart, the same that she spurned.
But I know she gives as much as she can, 
And so I will love her, Dark Beauty, my friend.
