2023 Gypsy's Clubs
: An Old Fashioned Love Affair by Gypsy Blue Rose
Inspired by Barbara Wilkey's characters: Seth and Emma

 

You are the man I need,
the one I trust the most
'cause you show me every day
how you love me so
with the things you do


and though I see in your eyes
the hunger and yearning
of your body and soul
I know you will wait
till I am ready
to give myself to you


I love the way you want
to kiss my trembling lips
as much as I want to kiss yours
and I swear
I can hear your heart beat fast


My heart
has been broken before
and I need to take my time
until it's on the mend,
I know you will wait


Your strong hands keep me safe
and will catch me before I fall
I know that to defend me
you would do anything


Yet, your hand is gentle
when you touch mine
as we sit on the front porch
drinking ice tea
at the end of day

You are the man I want
