she is

in the end

when all is said

everything is done

she is why

you are still here

when the night grows too long

she is what you are waiting for

in the length of the day

when your mind wonders

she is who catches it

steadies you

rests there

she is the light

that ignites within

a fire that burns

the hunger

she is the challenge

the one up

the hand down

she'll put you in your place

remind you where you stand

she is the dark horse

roaming in your lonely land

she'll hold you

pull you near

she'll boost your ego

she is your opposite

your devils advocate

and your single breath

she is the one

she'll tell it to your face

no matter the truth

she'll make it known

no matter the lie

she'll dig you the ditch

and bury you alive

she is the strength

you find in yourself

she is the smile

that warms you

the laughter

that consoles you

she is all

and then some

and you know it

cause you feel it

and somewhere

between

she said she'd wait forever

without you knowing

she gave you herself

she opened her world

you had no idea

she liked it better that way

she hid her intellect

crushed her opponents

she faked her tears

won the day

she knows her worth

she will always stand in front

though patience she lacks

she makes up for in design

she is the charm

that brings you back

she is the friend

that listens

she is the girl

who haunts dreams

she is the lady

who promises the dance

she is the woman

surrounded by boys

but she is the one who chooses

she knows what she wants

she gets the game

she is the only one that matters

she was until she met you

for she is whom

without

you would never understand

love

she is

let that be

enough
