Over him, only one girl had a hold,
And she was the only one to whom he showed his true face.
To fall in love with the dragon, only Noah Shaw could be so bold.*
Born to kill the dragon, it was foretold,**
His parents not knowing that this might not be the case.
Over him, only one girl had a hold.
Of his abilities, he was never told,
Once he discovered them, he wished he had not a trace.
To fall in love with the dragon, only Noah Shaw could be so bold.
At least his abilities could be controlled,
Whereas with hers, that was not the case.
Over him, only one girl had a hold.
One word from her and he was sold,
And for their relationship, he let her set the pace.
To fall in love with the dragon, only Noah Shaw could be so bold.
From her, there was nothing he would withhold,
And his love for her nothing could erase.
Over him, only one girl had a hold,
To fall in love with the dragon, only Noah Shaw could be so bold.

*"Noah practically radiated frustration. "For what?"
"To be the hero," David said, looking at Noah like he was his greatest disappointment. "To slay the dragon. But you fell in love with it instead."" (Mara Dyer Trilogy: Book 3: The Retribution of Mara Dyer: page 342, written by Michelle Hodkin)
