"...Still He Respects Me..."
  by *Miss Toya*




He knows me...
And he knows who I am
Inside
He knows everything
About me
Even things I hide

Still he respects me
As a woman
Like a real man should
He respects
The real me, no sugarcoat
He's too good

To be true
And he scares me
With that shit sometimes
Unlike others
He doesn't judge me
Or my state of mind

Or make me wanna run
And hide
Or conceal my pain
Instead of assuming
Things about me
He asks me to explain

Even though
He already sees
Beyond the surface
He knows why I
Address things the way i do
And his purpose

Is to help me
Help myself
Know that I'm not
What I've gone through
And that I should
Accept myself

Even though
We both know
That I'm far from perfect
Still he respects me
As a woman
Because as a woman I deserve it

...sigh... he scares me with that same shit.. just respecting me.. and never judging.. and knowing everything about me.. even those things i hide from myself.. he knows things i dont even TELL myself.. scares me all the time.. and its like.. nothing i do could ever make him think less of me.. all he wants to do is help no matter what the issue is.. and he thinks so highly of me its insane.. oh goodness.. i thank him..
