When I first saw you,
Your eyes so soft and brown,
I knew it could not be true,
not so much a wrinkle or lines of frown,

Heavily made up to brighten your shell,
Soft spoken words without a lisp,
You don't need all that effort to be my Southern Belle,
Those sensitive lips that I longed to kiss,

Exquisitely formed to shape you this woman,
Our minds eye formed a single cell,
Both hearts were gently humming,
We liked each other, this we could tell,

Oh I wish you was the one,
For our love would always be so tender,
In your hands I could place my soul and heart upon,
Alas this is not to be for in your heart I was not the same gender.
