Precious sabeta

Precious sabeta
I met her on the eve of January 31st 2017
A woman of fine beauty and brains one cannot deny
She gazed at me with those beautiful loving eyes,
As if hypnotized I had to make her mine
She opened her mouth to speak and I felt so weak
But then her voice so sweet fell on my ears, relieved my fears
She embraced me with grace, her smiling face soothing my conscience

I never thought I’d ever meet someone so gorgeous
My goodness gracious she said her name is sabeta 
You see, I was seduced by the looks and the glamour
Of this fine individual with a sense of humour
Like her name she reflected an image of perfection
I was trying to hide these feelings of repression
Emotions overwhelming logic and reason
Like a pleasant drug, she had clouded my vision

Eyes blurry and her name echoing in my ears
Something this precious is usually very rare
Or maybe I’m already in love I was just unaware
Her presence is missed every time she’s not around
I begin to think of her every time I hear the sound
Of my cellular phone ringing damn, she gets me day dreaming
About spending time with her my heart is still aching
To have her all to myself and it’s almost breaking
When I think of her my heart increases its beating
And when she not around my happiness starts decreasing

I’d like to ask her out but have not the courage
Afraid she’s already taken or booked for marriage
Fair Precious who is so fine,
I will not rest until I make you mine.
