Not An Imitation

How do you tell the one you love

You’re in love with another

Who promises the world

Not just material things like diamonds and pearls

A man who treats me like a princess

He doesn’t listen to my past as if it’s something I should confess

Promising to help me succeed my dreams

And test life to its extremes

A complete gentleman

One who will pay for meals and hold open doors

Who will carry you shopping from the store

The only person you want to catch you when you fall

The first to be in your missed calls

 

A real man

Not an imitation of one
