No man of steel

I'm no man of steel,
But my heart is strong, my love real.
Into the air... I'm unable to fly,
But  would take a bullet...
For you i'd die.
I can not see through walls or any such things at all,
But I'd surely catch you if you should fall.
I can not leap a tall building in a single bound,
But believe me, no harm shall come to you when I'm around.
I'm not strong enough to bend steel with my bare hands,
But I am strong enough to be your man.
While I do not possess laser beam eyes,
I do have two lips to kiss you tenderly, on this you can rely.
I can not out run a speeding train, break the sound barrier like a supersonic plane.
But I will be ever quick to ease your sorrow and pain.
I do not have super ears with which the faintest sounds to hear, but know, I am always near.
I can not withstand the fieriness of the suns heat or bone freezing cold.
But I will love and honor you even as we both grow old.
I am not the bravest man nor have I ever been bold.
But I mean these words with all of my heart...all of my soul.
And know this, come what may... I shall love you tomorrow, and so much more on the next day.
I will always be here for you to have and to hold.
No matter how heavy the weight, I will not fold.
No...I'm no man of steel, but I'm real. I...am...real.
I want, I need, cut me, I bleed.
I laugh, I cry, I live and I shall die.
With each passing day I shall love you more.
Together forever our hearts will soar.
From beginning to end, you shall always be my best friend.
Though I may not have telescopic site.
I'll keep you in my minds eye, you are my weakness...my kryptonite.
What I feel is real... But I'm no man of steel.
