He’s kind enough

That I’m not afraid of him

I’m safe in a room with him

He wouldn’t hit me

Or take advantage

He is kind

Enough

He’s handsome enough

I can stand to look at him

His smile is pleasant

And other women swoon over him

So he must be desirable

He is handsome

Enough

He’s intelligent enough

We can make conversation

I don’t feel inferior

I don’t need to dumb myself down

He’s not boring to talk to

He’s intelligent

Enough

He’s romantic enough

Bringing flowers to my doorstep

Fantastic dinners

And kisses on my cheek

That feel empty, but sweet

He’s romantic

Enough

But her…

She is compassion without bounds

Beauty without limits

Her intelligence glows from her

Brighter than a thousand suns

And when my eyes meet hers

I see a future

Filled with gentle passion

Tender embraces

And days filled with ‘I love you’s

I know it can never be

As much as it hurts

I’m lucky enough

As it is

To have someone so kind

So handsome, so smart,

So romantic

But I know, deep inside

As long as she is around

He can never be

Enough
