THE LIST

     One time
not to long ago
I made a list 
of what 
I want 
in a man
in a lover
in a friend

     I wrote every whim
and fancy
every nook and cranny
telling myself
I am foolish
for what I described was
the perfect man
the perfect friend
the perfect lover
which did not exist

     Well there are debatable cliches 
about perfection, 
but most can agree
it is
unattainable

     But then I met you
and you became my friend

     But then I got to know you
as I saw you as a man

     But then I got to touch you
and I saw you as a lover

     and realized that you
are everything on my list
every whim and fancy
nook and cranny

     So I asked myself
does that make you perfection?
but then I just laughed and replied
No, that just makes my goal
attainableplied
No, that just makes my goal
attainable
