I wonder...

does she have my sweet smile

my resounding laugh
my pretty eyes
my delicate hands
my soft skin
does she have my open arms

my protective embrace
my tender kisses
my soothing caresses
my compassionate tears
does she have my unfulfilled dreams

my trampled feelings
my haunted memories
my tormented soul
my broken heart
does she have my prevailing self-respect

my steadfast determination
my everlasting faith
my constant hope
my unconditional love
