there are men

there are men who aren't afraid to be vulnerable
who are willing to open up and share the truth of their feelings

there are men who aren't afraid of a woman's emotions or intimidated by her intelligence

there are men who are awake, who are masters at observing details and know how to take it all in and be moved by the beauty in life

there are men who can look into your eyes, exposing their soul while seeing yours

there are men who aren't afraid to hold your hand or kiss you in public because they can't resist and don't care what anyone might think

there are men who are respectful of and humbled by the magic of a woman, who seek the warmth and wisdom you embody

these are the men who make the world a better place because they are genuine, not embodying what they think it means to be a man, but simply by being a man

there are men like this.  i know because this is the man i love
