Sings- for Liz

He’s not smooth or suave or as muscular as I date them

but that’s ok… the ones I date, I usually learn I need to hate them

There is something about him that is as charming as a well-kept home

And though I don’t want to love again, I can't seem to leave him alone

I think about him on Friday mornings when it’s convenient,

and sometimes on Thursday afternoons in business meetings

when I am so busy, so frazzled so chaotic

and the memory of his… listening skills come to mind

He makes me sing, he make me… smile

He’s not a bad boy, he’s not wild,

He’s… attentive

I like the attentive guy

the one that remembers to call when he says he will

the one that prays for me… offers to stay close to me

the one that wishes me well and encourages me

to be

the best me that I can be

He’s not cool

He’s the classic nerd… and he’s so, so, so,

he’s so, so into me!

It’s more attractive to be wanted than it is to be attracted

He makes my heart sing

and the corners of my lips pull outward until all that you can see are my 32

Beneath my desire to be safe and not love anyone new...

he feels safe to me

safer than home as ever been, safer than secrets shared with the best of best friends

he’s the sheets that you pull over head to protect you from the wooly boogers that attack at night

I tell myself being vulnerable again is so crazy so wrong but he makes me feel so gosh darn right

missing him alone incites… frustration, mental aggravation

He’s the gentle wind that smoothly sweeps the waves in my ocean to tide

No, I lied,

He allows me to be who I am

passionate fighter, career diva or just plain struggling Christian

He creates a place for me that I love to reside in

I can confide in

him and him in me

He’s slow brewed morning coffee

and I compliment him,

I am his sugar and his cream

together we make the smoothest, freshest, kick buttinest and take names team

I don’t have to be anything special for him

And me being something is more than enough to be his… his everything

He makes my heart sing

and my love wiggle and shake

He is my tsunami, hurricane tornado and I’m his Caribbean earthquake

I’ve sowed seeds of joy and hope and stood watchful

waiting and praying for it to be my time

bring me a harvest of sweet Vitamin D sunshine

I deny it, say we are just friends, but hope against hope it’s the real thing

Last time I’ll say it,

He makes my heart, he makes my heart

sing.
