Can I be the woman you
conjured up in your head
can I be the woman your
heart I thread.
I may not be the greatest thing
since sliced bread but I can
be the star in your movie
your book that was so well
read.
I promise to make your toes
curl and your body scream
I might not say all the right
words or do all the right things
but can I be the woman of
your dreams.
I may not fit most peoples
hyped up standards but if
you could possibly fathom
I was God sent then you would
see we were really meant.
Don’t you want a woman who will
love you completely, be faithful
and sacrifice her all for you?
Stand by you?
Rise and shine with you?
I may not be the cutest woman around
but I know I am a woman in whom
you can be proud.
My love will be like a river overflowing
and I can help you get where you’re going
at the same time keep our love growing.
I may not be all you said you wanted
but don’t look past the possibilities, my
confidence in us and my desire to please.
Don’t pass me by because of some image
that a dysfunctional society has taught.
Eventually, you will come to see I’m
everything you never knew you wanted
but yet you hoped and prayed you get.
Can I be the woman of your dreams?
