Not You

I want a man…

A man who respects me
Encourages what talent I have
Big or small

A man who knows me
To know what makes me laugh
And what makes me cry

A man who’s careful with his words
Conscious that he won’t hurt me
Soothing that he can heal me

A man who sacrifices for me
Equal or maybe a little less
Of what I sacrifice for him

A man who puts me first
My presence isn’t taken for granted
He values my love and me

A man who is thoughtful
Wants even the small things to count
Blesses me with surprises

A man who listens
Who believes my opinions matter
Holds the weight of my voice to heart

I want a King
Who needs
His Queen.

I want a man that’s not you
