My Man
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

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.
