He sits and watches from afar
That one girl of his dreams
He wishes she felt as he does for her.
A love deeper than it seems

Sure, she has that beauty
That look, those eyes, her smile
The body that most would kill to hold
All efforts made worthwhile.

But to him, that doesn’t matter
His love for her runs deep
And though she may never return his love.
It is still all hers to keep

There’s a fire that burns inside her.
A passion and zest for life
A thirst that drives her onwards
And overcome life’s strife.

The ease in which she gifts her smile
That’s like a shooting star.
It makes him stop and look in awe.
Whether near or from afar

He loves how she makes him strive.
To be a better man
And simply being round her
Makes him certain that he can

She is sunshine on the rain-swept day.
A warmth like mid-July
And the sing-song voice is like the night.
An endless star-filled sky

His life is so much brighter
For her being part if it
And he knows if she’d think of him that way.
It would be the perfect fit.

She’s that new song on the radio.
That makes him sing along.
The feeling of contentment
Like he is right where he belongs.

He sees her name or hears her voice.
And knows that he is home.
And no matter how lonely he feels.
He’s never truly alone.

She is the rising of the morning sun.
And the color of the eve.
The gentle caress of sleep's embrace
The most he can achieve

But her eyes don’t fall upon him.
And perhaps they never will
His dreams of a life beside her
Will be dreams he can’t fulfill.

But perhaps one day another
Will dazzle him as she does
And his love for her will fill her whole
And she’ll return that love.

She will always be the benchmark.
Of what is perfect, real, and true
And he wants the one who’s reading this.
To know that she is you.
