If I Were To...

If I were to pour out my emotions,
Just if...I were to--
I'd let it pour that my first job, to you, as your man; your husband,
Is to protect you,
To love you endlessly,
To love you with a strong yet gentle hand...
To remind you everyday how beautiful you are--naturally, spiritually..
And how sacred it is that you bear my last name.
Reminding you
That no one can take your place
In my bed and in my psyche...
Just if,
I were to pour out my emotions...

To be continued.
