For You Are......

For the way you are is new to me,
Your pride and strength and dignity. 
For whom so knows how to react to someone like you?
For you are one who intimidates.

For the way you are makes me wonder,
why do your actions boom like thunder?
Why do your words inspire me so?
For you are one who astonishes.

For the way you speak, that way you say,
it makes me want to hear you everyday.
As I leave in closing,
For you are chosen to steal my heart,
 like you did from the start.
