She told me I was too clever for my own good
That my seductive words couldn’t thaw the ice that built around her heart
You see this just made me want to try harder
Cause I was never one to quit so easily
Hard to get wasn’t an option here
And a savior surely wasn’t what she needed
She was looking for that man
You know the ones she was promised in childhood tales
Valiant and chivalrous
Old fashioned yet modern in his ways
One with insight enough to see royalty
When he gazed upon her
She was an entire empire
Rolled up into feminine
Pumped up my adrenaline
To set forth my efforts more vigilantly
Till finally she paused and said
With the shrug of her shoulder
“We’ll see”….
Left me smiling as she walked away from me
