Your face
May remind me of ocean skies at dawn
And your hips/thighs
Breasts in a soft shaped disguise
Might make me “rise” above my means
But don’t be misled
By physical attraction

It takes more than that

Look me in the eyes
Hear my voice talk
Practice my walk in the mirror

Know me 
Like no one has ever known me
Before

Make me a better man
To grow with you

Have the ability
To distinguish times
When I’m not myself

Re-energize my soul
When I have nothing left to give

Take my mother’s place
As my primary reason 
For living

Giving me strength
As you hold the key
To what lies beneath
My outer shell


Because you need to understand
That I would never ask someone
To just be my woman
Because as you can see
You have to be more than just a woman
To become one with me

You must become my soul mate
