Man of Your Dreams

What if I was the man of every girl's dream,
Regrettably, they didn't know it.
Though certain things didn't exist instantly,
Yet I was him and couldn't show it.

What if you found him when you met me,
In your presence there I stood.
I had no wings of an angel, nor aura heavenly,
Yet I could do what no other man would.

You knew who I was and knew my name,
We've crossed paths and life moved on.
The quest for perfection was to blame,
Which is why misfortune stood strong.

Not to say vainly, "I'm God's gift to the world,"
Just what if I was created to be
The man of your dreams, liked by woman and girl;
Would you overlook or choose me?
