I realize now
What I didn’t then,
How you needed more
Than I was
Willing to give,
A warm body beside you,
Powerful arms to hold you,
A tender kiss on your lips,
Your tits, your hips,
An embrace that is more
Than just a breeze passing
Through one window
And out the other,
You needed someone
Who could/would
Stay the night,
Arms that held you save
In those hours of vacacy
After I (and other men like me)
Had to move on,
A romance that would stay
Attached rather than
Peal away,
We always more a temporary
Reprieve, a Band Aide,
That causes as much pain
When removed
Than we foolishly believed
We could shield
You from.
I realize now
What didn’t know then,
What you needed
Was love.
