Worth

I wrote this poem on my 18th birthday in a car to Virgina Beach on my cell phone. I recently found it in my email and decided to post this. I call this more of a list rather than a poem only because its really long but enjoy ....

Worth

What am I looking for in a Man?

Strong affectionate caring & kind

Those are just a few qualities in what I want to call
mine

He can’t talk to the talk if he can’t walk it

He has to be a man of his words & never back down

Be that person that gets rid of all my frowns

He has to be able to please me physically mentally
& spiritually

Physically not only in the bedroom but in public knowing
when to hold my hand & when not to

Knowing when to hug & kiss me when the time is
just right

A man who in front of his boys can give me a kiss
goodbye & not feel embarrassed by it

He has knows how to physically respect me as a woman
& to never lay hand on me the wrong way & touch me gently every single
day

I need a man who can be with me not only for my physical
appearance but because of my mind, personality, & mentality

All the type of ways I think

I want him to know what I’m thinking as if he were me

Be able to pick something out at a store in a way I
would

I don’t want our minds to be alike but I want him to have
an understanding of what I think

I want this man to be able to look at me & know if
something’s wrong

To know even if I’m smiling I’m covering up something

To know that as much as I seem strong & heartless

That I do have a heart & not to hurt it

To know that I believe in love

& if he’s not ready for that to leave before I get
hurt

He has to know that I put walls up & hide my
feelings

He has to know how to get behind those walls & get
to know the side of me no one knows

He has to want to do this because he has to know I won’t
force him

Spiritually this man has to connect with me &
connect with God

He has to know I don’t like to attend church but I do
pray

& that I do thank god for my blessings everyday

He doesn’t has to believe in my God but believe in
some type of God or have a hint of spirituality

Only so I know there isn’t a demon dwelling deep
inside of him

This man has to be everything & more

Not be an accessory but to compliment me

Be there for me & love me unconditionally

Be the man I’ve been waiting for

Be able to shut my eyes to all other men

Be able to take my breath away & always have me
head over heels

To always be spontaneous with his actions

He can’t make me think he loves me

He has to make me have to know

He has to understand that I got my own

& I don’t need him & if worse comes to worse

My heart is strong enough to leave him

He has to have his own

Education, money & things in that nature

Just so I know that we’re on the same path

He has to have the same drive as me

If not better

He has to strive to happy

& on his days where he isn’t in the best mindset

He has to know that he can come to me with anything

To know that I’m his rock & he’s mine

& whatever problem he has it also becomes mine

He has to understand when I need space & when I
want closure

He has to know everything about me

He has allow me into his heart knowing I won’t break
it

He has to know that I’m here to stay as long as he
treats me right

He has to have a friendship with my friends & a
bond with my family

He has to be everything times more

A man like this I can’t find in some store

A man like this I can’t find at all

Because a man like this has to find me

& when he does he will recognize half of himself
in me

He’s a man that can help himself & knows when he
sees me that by being with me he is finally is complete

Our connection will be so strong words wont even being
to describe it

A love & a bond like this only god will be able to
prescribe it

He will know when he’s sees me we should’ve been
together since birth

You may think I’m asking for a lot

But it’s only because I only ask for what I’m worth
