I Am Your Man

Thomas Riley Smith c.2022

I will always be your lover,
and I will stand up
for you like a brother.
I will listen without interruption,
like a life-long friend.
I will celebrate all your beginnings,
and mourn all your endings.
I am your man.

I will carefully open each
gift you present to my needs.
And I will save all the wrappings
to <bind them together
to read when we're older.
I will mean what I say, when
I say what you long to hear.
I will cherish your reactions,
from laughter to silence to tears.
I am your man.

I am you wind, I am your shelter,
I am your rest, I am your thunder,
I'm your fountain and your fever.
I am your roses, I am your chocolate.
I am your Christmas, I am your birthday,
I'm your Valentine in August.

I will always be your sweetheart,
and I've carved your name in my
soul like young children
would do in tree bark.
I won't divide my attention,
I'll center my center on you.
I will trust your affections,
I've thoroughly considered this truth.
I am your man.

I have a singleness of vision
few men's eyes can comprehend.
I'll never wander, I'll never wonder,
I'll never anger to obstruction.
I am happy, truly happy,
I am your man.

I am you wind, I am your shelter,
I am your rest, I am your thunder,
I'm your fountain and your fever.
I am your roses, I am your chocolate.
I am your Christmas, I am your birthday,
I'm your Valentine in August.
I will always be your lover,
and I will stand up for you like a brother.
