This dude
The one I met a few years back
He’s the inspiration for this track
A picnic, some dancing
And this dude comes along
He danced his way beside me
Leave it to him to blindside me
Did you know
Before I Let Go
Was our first dance song?
He spoke good words
Funny but from the heart
But before we could start
To build anything
A whole lot would have to be finished
And so we closed out old stuff
Because we had to
And when we went through
We held on
Because our love was enough
This dude
To the world
Laugh out loud crazy but respected much
With me
Soft of voice and tender touch
Writing me Roses are Red poems
He meant what he said poems
And told me that we would be together
I’d stopped believing in forever
Just surviving one day at a time
But his love set off the rhyme
In my soul
And then I knew
I knew
He’s not perfect by a long shot
And I’m not into reverence
But our business
Is our business
So I give our relationship deference
He’s my dude
I love him
And I learn from him
And get inspired by him
Never get tired of him
He challenges me
Good enough is never enough
And he’s like the Gray men
I grew up with
Dedication to family
Even when times are tough
He’s the other side
To my Libra scale
And when I’m off kilter
And feel like I’m falling
He won’t let me fail
That’s my dude yes
And I am grateful
The world can be hateful
But my home is filled with love
And that’s what I think of
When I’m tired
Or scared
Or frustrated
He cared
He loved
He talked
He taught
And I’m the better for it.
Nice!
