An Ode to a Great Man

Hearing your breath soft and steady
Setting a delicate cadence for me
I look at your face rugged and handsome
Eyes closed and soft lips gently parted
Who would’ve believed we’d be here from where we started
Laying next to you I feel comfortable and safe
No matter how hard they try no one can ever take your place
I love you more than I’ve ever loved another
So really no one else should bother
I love it when your strong hand lays over my breast
So much power but yet so gentle
My giant of a man makes love feel so simple
I know you have your doubts
But let me tell you this
No one can compare to you, not even a real prince
You are the keeper of my heart
The match to my flame
Without you life wouldn’t be the same
There’s no one I’d rather have at the end of the day
You’re my protector
You help take the pain away
At times you make me feel invincible and at others vulnerable
You make me open up when at times I’d rather fade away
You’re one of the reasons I choose to stay
I’ll keep a part of you safely tucked away
You’re my sun my moon my water and light
For us I will always put up a fight.
