I Do Not Own Her
I've come to learn exactly who you are,
and quite frankly, I do adore it.
From the way you smile and tease me,
to your kind heart and sharp wit.
You are someone whom I consider an equal,
and as a queen, there is no one more fit.
If I were to stand in a shield wall,
I would have you by my side.
If I were to be an Emperor,
for you, I would swallow my pride.
For I've come to realise I desire your company more than anything else,
And a true soulmate could never be bought, not even with the finest jewels or excessive wealth.
Nay, your companionship has to be earned,
and I am honestly glad to do so.
