.
She's stardust - that's the way I should describe her.
.
.
She's a twinkle in the eye, a card dance before the dove and dew before an autumn dawn.
.
The magic she has, the magic she should know she has, is the kind of thing that could set a still heart beating.
.
The kind of thing that could burst a cloud, dispel the rain and repair a fracture as anesthesia for the pain.
.
She carries youth in a smile, throws sunshine with her laughter and pulls a man into an awkward lean 
.
At the thought of a thousand loves, to a thousand lifetimes and every second spent in between.
.
She has magic in a broken heart; she has electricity in a dream, and teardrop strength
.
The likes of which 
.
Only those who know the light she shapes
.
Will ever get to see.
.
.
I would love to love her.
.
I would love to see the lash she'd leave on a world that doesn't deserve the sting.
.
.
I would love as much to leave love alone, value enough the care she holds
.
And only hear her sing.
.
.
And if again she isn't aware,
.
If in the end it doesn't matter,
.
I hope at least she does consider
.
Her salvation from the nightmare,
.
And its coinciding, relieved aversion 
.
.
From the wake of my disaster. 


- A.S.M.B.
