The You I Admire
(Dedicated to a man who made me feel infinitely treasured and helped me see it was okay to feel that way…who shall remain anonymous. I'll always love you for what you did for me.)

You know that you're different and special to me
Which makes me feel good, I can say, honestly
You treat me superb and you help me out
I really appreciate that with no doubt
~
There's something to be said for just holding your face
The warmth of your arms as we slowly embrace
The comfort I feel around you…no one else can
give me the security you give to me and
Someone to always talk to and to always care
A person to miss when they are not there
The you I admire must have been heaven-sent
You're one in a million, one hundred percent
~
Can I be quite honest? You're a mold for a man
I'd use you for an example whenever I can
And say, “This is how a real man should be”
Don't go lying, cheating and running the streets
Give your woman Q.T. and know when to give space
Love is not to be harsh and love isn't a race
Take the time to be real and you should be okay”
Well, that depends on how things turn out, anyway…
~
But, back to the facts, I lie to you not
I wish for your happiness (mean it—a lot!)
The you I admire, the way you're arranged
I'd definitely feel the difference if you ever changed
