The love I hope to believe in
offers real attention
when cold shoulders bear icicles
and a warm compliment
or an able hand to gently rub the back of your neck
palpably makes life more okay in that dedicated, decadent moment
The demeanor I hope younger men pursue
is of a true gentleman
and
while searching for love
A true gentleman should make his interests known
then simply offer time and space
Others should expect your trusty mettle
and time is the only welder
And if they like what you've built
and have to offer
you cannot half-ass what comes next.
Accept yesterday, but commit to right now
and cherish everything.
Even the horseshit.
It's still more meaningful that anything
Sony, Disney, or Nintendo could ever assemble or connect
So I'll cut to the chase, young gamers
and insist upon you now
that attempting to use your brain
in matters of love
is often futile and massively inefficient
Rely on your heart
Develop how you love along the way
Understand that love is not confined to the tangible properties comprising this blue marble
I recommend choosing to inhabit an infinite world
even when every single exterior force on this planet denies you.
Be the rock when tides swell
and be the light when all's well
