“He Has to be…”
Dark as the night or bright as the sun.
It doesn’t matter: I’d be content with either one!
Just let him be tall and lean, or short and muscular.
He has to talk like an executive, but be persuasive like a hustler.
He has to be smart, but every now and then stupid.
He has to have a rough exterior, but a heart like cupid.
He has to have his own life and be able to handle many things.
He has to be busy, but always answer the phone when it rings.
He has to be complex, but then again simple.
He has to know me inside and out, and identify my every dimple.
He has to be down-to-earth but occasionally a snob.
He has to be creative, but still have a job.
He has to be my mentor, but comfortable following my lead.
He has to prevent me from failure, and Insist that I succeed.
He has to be there when I need him but not always in my face.
He has to have his own home, but keep clothes at my place.
He has to like my family and vise versa.
He has to be polite, but not afraid to hurt ya!
He has to be conservative, but an undercover freak!
He has to be quiet, but always dare to speak.
He has to be my best-friend but never my dad.
He has to periodically piss me off, but consistently keep me glad!
He has to have the ability to be trusted with a set of spare keys.
He has to be cool if his curiosity delivers him more than he expects to see.
He has to be discreet about our intimacy but brag about me to all his guys.
He has to be tough, but not ashamed to rest his head on my shoulder if ever he cries.
He has to be the reason I can’t wait to punch the clock.
He has to be a great cook, but still my favorite jock!
He has to be real and sometimes tempted to stray.
He has to be rational enough to let his heart lead him back my way!
He has to be many things; definitely a good find.
Most importantly of all, “He has to be mine!”
