Diamond In the Rough
My heart knows what it wants
But to my luck it's off limits
Beauty I can see and not touch
Obey the sign read and listen
My ever increasing desire
Diamond I want to hold you
There is glass in my way
I must respect not break through
I know this diamond is priceless
And should be handled with care
If I could put it up on a pedestal
Something I'd definitely dare
If I had an opportunity just once
If prove I'm the perfect man
Elegant diamond would be displayed
I wpuld take care best i can
I see a very rare value
A beautiful diamond in the rough
I want to fix and fine tune
From being handled to tough
If I was the lucky handler
Of this most beautiful gem
I would respect and cherish it
Until my last breathe it gave in
