special describes the sunrise,
on a jamaican sandy beach,
the crystal blue waters of cozumel,
or the taste of a sweet georgia peach.
special denotes the uncommon,
– exceptional, rare, and unique –
like the high of the rocky mountains,
at the top of a tall aspen peak.
i've stood at the top of those mountains,
touched their crystal blue skies,
strolled those sandy white beaches,
watched the jamaican sunrise.
but of all the special things i've seen,
– magnificent, fantastic, true –
i have never laid eyes on anything close,
to the special i see in you.
