Manly

I can’t keep

My hands off you



I could touch you

All day long



Not for sexual reasons

Or validation,

I just love the way

Your skin feels against mine



I love how your

Arms and face are stubbly

Muscles rugged

Chest ripped



A real man



When I know deep down

You couldn’t be

Further from it



In so many ways,

I question your masculinity



But when I am near you,

I just know

You think unlike

Any man I’ve ever met



But you feel

Like an honest-to-God man
