To the Man I Love

Why are all dudes so hard to figure out? How hard is it for them to just let down their pride and go for what they want? Why do they hold back? Is it because the woman that they’re feeling doesn’t live up to the Instagram baddies that everyone sees? Is he afraid of how his friends would react if they find out he was messing with a 160 pound woman? Is my curly hair not good enough for him? Is my ass not fat enough for him? Am I not beautiful because my face isn’t masked behind multiple products? Am I not attractive because my lips aren’t pouty like Kylie? Do you not want me because my skin is too light for you?

Why am I only wanted by you when that desire hits you? Why is when I am with you, you don’t cherish my body? Why is my body good enough for you, but my soul is not? Why not give it a shot to get to know how pure my soul is rather than ravishing my body? Why should you?

Heres why. My heart is pure, heart of gold. I love, and I love hard. All your insecurities will disappear with me. I would be the woman to help you transform from a boy to a man. Your dreams become my dreams. You want something, I’ll be by your side telling you to go get it. If you feel weary, I will be your strength. My love would be there even in the darkest of times. You hurt me? My love for you will show you forgiveness. You’re having a hard time trying to love? My love will show you how to love. My love for you would tell you the truth when you need to hear it. My love is love that is not tainted. It is something that very few get to experience. Is my love not enough? What does my soul have to offer you?

My soul would offer verisimilitude. It would show you a strong woman. A woman who has been through trials, but still capable of love. You would see a woman who has a desire to nurture. A woman with dreams. A woman who loves her family. A strong woman who loves her God and serves him faithfully. You would see all the good in her, but also her bad. You would see the battles she fights constantly. The battles of fear. The fear of not being able to be loved. The fear of her future. The fear of losing her mother. You would witness her internal battles of letting you in. The constant fight of whether you’re going to use her and leave her like rest. You’ll be stopped by her walls. The walls to keep her heart and soul protected by those who chose to destroy it. This doesn’t make her less desirable, It makes her more real. More human.

So this is my question, Is this a woman you want to be with?
