Next time I won’t rush

Next time I will give him a chance

To worship and gush

Over me

I won’t move so stupidly

I won’t invite him in

I’ll be a lady, and he’ll be the chaser

I will make sure he’s a gentleman in a blazer

And not some dumb classless troublemaker

He will have respect for me and life

He won’t chase people around with a knife

Claiming to be the baddest yet with no life

White or blatant

He will not practice any lies

Smart, attentive

He will read between the lines

To him, I’ll never have to say no twice

His kiss will be soft and calm

His touch will be considerate of feelings, both his and mine

He will break neither my heart nor my bed

My gentleman will go nice and slow

Our intimacy will start from the soul

Once our bodies answer the call, our chemistry will take over, and we will float

They’ll be no patronising or undermining in our conversations

Just trust and understanding

We won’t have time to do any judging

Because we’ll be too busy loving and learning about one another

Only wanting to be the closest person to the other

Paving a way so that we’ll never be tempted to keep secrets from each other

I want a man I can trust

A man who will not only lust over me but also trust me

With his life

I want to hold the key to his heart

So I can let myself in and see what’s in it

And let him hold mine so I never have to open my mouth and explain what I’m feeling.
