could you be my love?

Could you be the man I longed to love?

Could you be the second turtle dove?

In quiet moments when I stare in to your eyes I find glimpses of me

From across the room I can hear your thoughts

You speak to me without words from your mouth

At times I truly wonder if you know what this is all about

You love a woman for who she is

Not the superficial pleasures she can bring

You love the short afro with tight curls

Sometimes you may think of lacing a women’s foot in pearls

But that’s because real Kings always treat their woman like a Queen

You can articulate the past

And refuse to be struck by Hollywood’s cast

You speak the truth

And from day I knew you were proof,

That real men exist

And manifest their thoughts on more than bliss

Could you be that man to bless my lips with an everlasting kiss

Show me that there is more to life than T. H. I. S…this

To walk down the street hand in hand

Observe the sunset with our feet engulfed in sand

Let me tell the world that you are my man

Could you be that man to help God you and I bring new life into this world

Love me until the sun goes down

Smile even when you’re mad, because only my kiss could remove your frown

Could you be that man to love me even if I gain a few pounds?

To let me love you and give you all I have to give

And never run from the oath we made to commit

Commit our lives to being true to one another

When I look at you I see the man God created for me

Could you be that man?

Will you be that man?

Cause I see that man

Come forth and take my hand
