The man I love is intelligent and humble

Teaching what he knows with respect

His well of knowledge quinches my thirst 

 

The man I love is honest and brave

Speaking his mind with truth and certainty

I am inspired when he speaks

 

The man I love is patient and forgiving

Chances are recieved, everything is owed

His heart weeps as mine shatters

 

The man I love is loving and kind

Tender kisses, a passionate embrace

My body weakens as his hold strong

 

The man I love listens and cares

Tears fall, sympathy exchanged

He wipes my tears as I look away

 

The man I love understands my spirit

Headstrong, implusive, strong-willed

I stand my ground as he backs me up

 

The man I love is confident

Taking my hand within his own

He holds on tight, I never let go

 

The man I love protects me

Guarding me from predators 

He shields me from everyone including myself 

 

The man I love is loyal

He loves me for me, the way it should be

And when times get hard, never abandons me
