Before I Will Be Your Lady

Before I will be your lady,
I want to be your friend.
Let me explain, I hope, maybe
You will understand.

I want to see your kindness,
To stand in awe and see
How you go the extra mile
For others selflessly.

Of how loving you can be
To each of your bond,
And how you try to see
To the soul and beyond.

How you care for the world,
And for how others feel,
And how, when someone's hurt,
You try to help them heal.

Before I will be your lady,
I want us to be friends,
Then I can see that maybe
Friendship into love blends.
