I knew the first time I met you,
with your brass words and
your unapologetic attitude you,
you were a lion.
I had heard of lions, but never met one,
never saw one nor interacted with one.
You seemed standoffish, bold and arrogant
You frightened me at first and
I wasn't sure what to make of you.
My life was in ruins, I was weak with no self confidence and I felt like prey and
I knew you could sensecould my fear,
I felt as though I was doomed
Lions are such majestic, powerful creatures, strong and protective
they easily spot the weak
In time trust and respect developed.
You were what I had always longed for, always wanted, but never found
and then there you were
right in front of me.
I knew it was wrong, but was it really
Perhaps bad timing, but there you were,
you made me feel safe and
I longed for you I needed you,
I wanted you, I fantasized about you
The ever elusive lion, you came into my life and I wasnt going to let you go.
