He laughs at all my corny jokes
I know
I'm not a comedian & still he laughs

He talks to me on so many levels
We really don't even care
what the conversations about

He rubs my pain away
massaging me
until I'm fast of sleep

He's not once put me down,
I see him so completely
different than any of my exes

He cooks for me
after a long day
He makes me my favorites

He opens doors
even pulling
out my chair

He holds me in the mist of my nightmares
never making fun of my mental illness

He doesn't pressure me to be intimate
or
request a ****** relationship
he
knows I'm celibate & respect this

He prays with me
  and
he prays for me

He doesn't take me for granted
always a kind word to say
and
never ever has he been
disrespectful

He makes sure all my needs are met
and
he's devoted to my kids

most importantly he does
everything
I've longed for in sometimes
goes above and beyond,

He's quick to protect me
defend my honor
never discussing me to anyone

well
not ever has
he talked bad about me
or in
the negative as others
claiming to love me have

He refuses to be
baited by anyone
where
I'm concerned
and
recent had to make
a
stalker leave me alone
but
what I like the most of
my new friend
is that
He Holds My Hand!
