For Peter and Tom

I have a real man
that makes me laugh in his arms
and cry on his chest

I have a real man
that engulfs me in his smell
and makes my world safe

I have a real man
that makes my aches go away
and ends the long search

I have a real man
that gives me what my father
choose not to give

I have a real man
that makes a little boy swoon
at sight, at first sight

I have a real man
that lays in my bed at night
and waits for my touch

I have a real man
that shares his perfect dreams
across my small brow

I have a real man
sent by a stream of angels
to persuade me on

I have a real man
who carefully holds this soul
my hidden jewel

I have a real man
who shows me what love does
when I don't know how

I have a real man
given to me secretly
a gift for some time
