My Precious Pearl

My Precious Pearl 

You are my sunshine 

You have always been 

The sunlight that hits 

My eyes in the morning 

I still remember the first time 

We met 

You came up to me 

I was new 

You asked me about my age 

I laughed 

I'm probably older 

You were the first to make me smile 

You were the first to train me 

You were the first to take me to the mountain 

I still remember our first disagreement 

I was so embarrassed 

How I accidentally made you feel 

I spent the next 3 days 

Apologizing to you 

My precious Pearl 

Everytime our eyes met 

I felt the world stop 

Just to stare at us 

Giggling with each other 

I was in awe 

About your personality 

It made me comfortable 

I could be myself 

With you 

My precious Pearl 

I always felt 

That our souls 

Were connected 

Everytime I saw you

I wanted to protect you 

I wanted to make you laugh 

I wanted to make you feel safe 

Everytime another guy pissed you off 

I would show those guys my anger 

I always saw you 

As a best friend 

I saw you climb the career ladder 

I was so proud 

Of you 

Even if it was from the distance 

I have not seen you 

In many years 

But I'll always make sure 

To protect you 

My Precious Pearl
