I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I consider myself a fairly intelligent man. There are many things that I don't understand. Among those and at the top of the list is WOMEN.

Now, God knows, I LOVE the ladies. I just don't understand them. What occurs inside the female mind that turns an intelligent and logical woman into one that makes choices and decisions that leave brains and logic light years away?

Presented with the choice of having unconditional and real love, a real relationship, a real life with a heart that belongs to her and her alone, Or pretty words that dwell in fantasy land- You would think the decision would be crystal clear. Cut and dried. WRONG.

I guess what it amounts to is that some people just can't live in the REAL world with the rest of us.

YOU came to ME, heart broken and dreams shattered.

Collapsing in my arms, your tears rolled down my chest.

I held you tightly, there in the parking lot, cursing the one that hurt you so.

You didn't want to talk that night.
So, I held you as a river of tears flowed from your eyes.

I watched you sleep that night from across the room.

What manner of fool would let YOU go?

I would never make you cry.

But, I will hold you when you need to be held.

When you are broken, I'll pick up the pieces and make you whole again.

When you need strength, I'll lend you mine.

And, if the day ever comes when you want THIS true love that I offer-

IT'S YOURS-

I'll kiss your sweet lips

and

Never Let you go-

Until then, I'll wait.

Looking up into your eyes

Your body bathed in moonlight

My hands trail down your back

Landing on your hips

Pulling you closer to me

Your hair smells like mangos

As it falls around my face

**Thanks to Belle for telling me how to do this.
