He Has Style

he listens to my silence
endures my chatter
knows I have no tolerance
for unwelcome flatter

understands my confusion
wipes away my tears
brings me fruit instead of flowers
gently calms away my fears

tells me time is a friend
and it’s ok to cry
sees me for who I am
and looks at me straight in the eye

cracks such corny jokes
just to see me smile
then reaches over to touch my hand
mastering happiness and sadness with style

"I have already paid for all my future sins."  Sade...(King of Sorrow)

Does he have an available twin?
This sounds like a great friend, one who comforts in heartfelt style.

Very nice. It is great to have a partner that really understands you. Those of us who have found this person are fortunate, indeed. *SMILE*
