She said " I love you baby" Then kissed my ear seductively I said "I love you too" No two loves are identical Like opinions on what color the sky is Some are optimistic, some cynical What type of lover are you? I knew I loved her Because when she leaves my soul starts hurtin' I'm learning Short…. Is the average lifespan of the black man Only dating a year and a half And I'm already thinking about putting a ring on her hand I had my first dream about getting married But I won't tell her about my dreams and my plans I'm learning We've been through a lot Finally told her about my struggles with depression How on some days the clouds never go away And the rain never drops She's learning She said " That's okay baby... my love for you will never stop" Sometimes I don't know what to say I just thank her for loving me Told her my main goal in life is to be happy Because I know happiness is a luxury We're learning This is my first true love I can only see good things for us through my eyes I'm a perfectionist who struggles with the fact that he is only human So if I make a mistake during the process of learning to be a good lover I apologize |

Ah, a wise man you are, not to mention kind and compassionate too. She sounds wise and kind and compassionate too, and worthy of you – and if she stays around forever, she will prove just how worthy she is of you! Owl |

I enjoyed reading this. It is thoughtful, concise, and somehow symmetrically composed. That's quite a feat for a writer with manic-depressive tendencies.... It would behoove me to mention that a part of love in this world involves at least some personal sacrifice. Not thrown on a sword sacrifice, nor loss of gentle sanity nor anything like that---yet, it can be a grind at times. Forewarned is forearmed. |
