I saw you 
You were staring.
I looked twice and thought
How beautiful Confidence looked as she radiated from your complexion.
How pride dictated your every move.
How beauty appeared in its purest form.

I saw you 
You were staring.
I looked twice and thought you omnipotent. 
I saw you move mountains at a glance,
Realize world peace with your smile,
Even make me able to love again with your
whisper.

I saw you 
You were staring.
I looked twice and thought 
You could do anything,
Live up to the standards of the highest.
You can be anyone—
There must be someone
To carry on the legacy of your ancestors.
Fight like the hero you were destined to be.

I saw you 
You were staring.
I looked twice and thought
King, I could be your queen
We could reign in harmonious love,
Love in eternal bliss.

I saw you 
You were staring.
I looked twice and thought
…and thought
…and thought
…and thought.
I thought of greatness
