Not The Man Of My Dreams

I would have loved you were you all I dreamed of

Were spring warm in your arms

And your lips soft as tulips

I would have run to you did your hands hold the strength to rise me from the ground

Did your chest feel hard when I rested my head

And your words roll off like honey from bees

I would have loved you if the length of your legs counted more than mine

Your face reminded me of a 90s movie star

And your eyes of rainbow about the sun

I would have loved you so easily if only you weren't so genteel

Lacking any nuance of vain

And righteous as a saint

Yes, I would have loved you if you were the man I had dreamed of

Soft yet brutal, strong yet kind

And a face fitting for Vogue

Then I would have loved you

Fulfilling my childhood memories

And making real the man I had loved in my head all my life
