I picture a hero who will
look at me
the way you look at her.
I want someone who will
sweep me off my feet
with one fleeting glance
and keep me in the clouds forever.
I want a hero who will save me
from my perilous loneliness.
I want to be dazzled.
I want to be awed.
I want the world to stand still.
I want to see stars.
I want to be dizzy with love.
I want what I see
when you look at her:
a hero.
