An Adult Relationship

I have an adult relationship
with a man who understands why we need to laugh
who knows why sometimes I need to cry
who accepts we both have flaws
and have feelings after all.

I have an adult relationship
with a man who listens when I need to talk
who tells me when he needs share
who speaks softly to me when I yell
and it calms me down enough to hear my own thoughts.

I have an adult relationship
with a man who knows a thing or two about respect
who shows gratitude to those whom least expect it
who readily lends a hand
even when you don't think you're ready to reach out.

I have an adult relationship
with a man who teaches me humility
who holds dear to simple things because he had it all
who understands the value of the intangibles
like friendship, trust, respect and love.
