How to Love Her (poem)

Put her first.

Act according to her desire.

Ask first,

respect the answer.

Run your fingers through her hair,

hold her in your arms,

appreciate her raspberry perfume,

kiss her goodnight.

Forget your weak desires,

the obsessive possession,

the explosive jealousy,

her lips on your skin.

Be a friend,

when she needs a friend.

Be a lover,

when she asks you to.

Her touch is addictive,

but it cannot be taken,

or bought,

only received.

So satisfy her desire,

expect nothing back.

Give her safety and security,

expect nothing back.

Respect her,

her choices,

her body,

her refusals.

Put her first,

satisfy her desires,

and maybe, just maybe,

you'll love her.
