This Man

I think you are not perfect,
But reality is not a curse,
You are an artwork sung out pure 
and true,
An aria sung unrehearsed.

I am not a girl to sing along,
To a tune made on my own,
I am a girl to sit in silence,
I wait till true colours are shown.

I share my heart with a teacher,
Who needs no book to understand.
The heart of me walks side by side
With the true spirit of this man.
