My Hero
I never knew or thought
that I was even remotely capable
of emoting such affection
or staying in a state so escapable.
So young and innocent,
not a care in the world,
I finally found
what I was never searching for.
It began with smiles
and glances in the hall...
with notes back and forth
and his barely legible scrawl.
He didn't need any lame pickup lines
to get me hooked
to his care and his chivalry,
the traits of a hero in a book.
And to call him a hero, my hero,
is to give credit where credit is due.
He saved me from my callowness then,
as he saves me everyday from going askew.
Whenever I look into the eyes
of such a passionate and loving fellow,
I realize how thankful I am
to be able to call him my hero.
