It's been years since I saw your smile
The one that used to reach your eyes.
Innocent questions amused me
As you would stare at me scornfully.
Today you asked me if you were brave,
Oh, how could I ever tell you,
You are the bravest I have ever met.
Yes, you do not yield my sword
Yes, you don't fight for the cause
Not in the traditional way.
But you, My Queen, have left your throne
All the palace and adornments alone
Just to be my strength in war.
Who is as brave as you, my guiding star?
Yes, you pray in fear, I know.
But with each prayer, a belief in me grows
I want to win, I want to prove
Your pride in me is not vanity or untrue.
You who has a hold on me,
The king, the leader and the braveheart on the battlefield
And you say you aren't braver than me?
One look from you, one wish that escapes your lips
Are my purpose, prayers and peace.
A storm you surged in a lovelorn teen
Refuses to die down after so many years in between.
Neither your title, nor your beauty
Neither your skills nor your duty
You, in existence, upon this earth
Whose lotus feet blessed upon my cold heart
Makes it a home, with strength and will
Who, tell me, is as brave as thee?
