"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." - Ralph Waldo Emerson


My man calls me beautiful 

Instead of hot

He calls me love 

Instead of cute

He calls me queen 

Instead of doll

He loves me 

For me

Who I am

Not for my body

Or my figure

A man

Who'll love me 

Even when I'm grey and old 

And shriveled 

And no longer appealing to the eye

But rather he'll still see my heart

As the treasure he saw

When we first fell in love

He loves me for who I am

The way I am

Every messy part of me

He doesn't try to change me

The things he doesn't like

He takes me by the hand 

As I am

And that's more than enough for him

My man 

Doesn't send me comforting texts 

When I'm struggling

Rather 

He's there to hold me

Through it all 

And instead of simply promising

He's there for anything I need 

He IS there 

With me

For anything I need

My man doesn't just quick hug and go 

To go through the motions

When he hugs me 

He holds on 

Like he'll never let go

He shows me 

How he'd do anything for me 

And he treats every hug 

Like it might be the last 

And when he kisses me 

It's not just something he does

It's something he promises 

Every one

That I'm his

And he's mine

And it's only an us thing

Always 

And forever 

Only us

And when my man comes home 

He finds me

And let's me know how grateful to God he is for me

And I let him know

How grateful to God I am 

For him 

Because he is mine

And I am his

And it's only us 

And that he is the one for me

My true love 

My prince charming 

My knight in shining armor

He's not like the other boys

He's not looking for touch and go relationships

He's looking for something special

One in a million

Something that lasts 

The man I want

The boy for me 

My boy

My man

My love 

The one to come

I pray this is 

Who I see 

In the man for me


The author's comments:

I've always wanted to find my true love. I didn't realize, so many things in my childhood. I've had to learn the hard way, life and love is not like in the movies. There are so many things that now going into adulthood I'm seeing, that I never knew before. So many relationships today, are just like touch and go. Love em and leave em. Just move on. I believe this is due to the (high.) If you've ever been in any kind of relationship you'll know the (puppy love) stage so it's called, where you just feel so free. You're high, drunk on love and twitterpation, and it just feels so right. And most relationships, once past that stage, when it actually starts to hurt, they just walk away. Move on to the next hot girl or boy. Just to live in that high feeling and never have to deal with the lows. I don't want that. I don't want to just be someone that passes each boys heart on like nothing, and I don't want to have that done to me either. When I find the right guy for him, I want him to be the man in this poem. I want him to treasure me, and my heart, like it actually matters. I am going to stay with my man always, and show him he's not just anyone. He's my someone. Always. My only someone. And I want him to do the same for me. No, I do not currently have a man or boyfriend of my own. But this poem is my heart's expression about what kind of man I want.
