as arousing as a charmer to a snake.
as needy as a child of a parent.
as wanting as the desert of rain.
as hateful as a tiger to her prey.
as hurtful as a harpooner to a whale.
as devious as a fox to the chicken coop.
as devilish as a wolf to it's competitor.
as compassionate as a mother to her babe.
as wonderous as a father to his.
as close as two sisters can get.
as distant as the oceans spent.
as nothing can compare.
as I know you're always there.
as my love for you still grows.
as I hope you'll always know.
