Young Miss

Young miss, I don't know what's in your mind
So there's no misunderstanding, let me explain what's in mine

You are not my next conquest, no, your body isn't my aim
The pleasure of your company is why I came
To sit on a couch next to you is an honor indeed
I'm blessed to hear your voice allowing me access to your past

I have no desire to rush you
I'm sure you're worth the wait
And the weight
Of each second as it ticks by
Isn't so heavy a burden, if by some chance, you'd be mine
I intend to be a gentleman, open doors and pull out chairs
Let you vent when you need to, remain silent if you ask
In your corner I'll stand and I'll be the loudest cheer
I intend to build a friendship based on Christian integrity
I intend to earn your trust through action, give you all of me

Young miss, I know you're tired of those tired young boys
Tired one-liners and see-through attempts at physical joy
Leaving you mentally and spiritually unsatisfied
At the end of the night you're tired
Of the search
For that one man who
Would introduce himself with
"Hi my name is" & ask things like, May I sit next to you?

And as he speaks in a refreshing way
You hear two things: What he does and doesn't say

For in his mannerisms you detect that thing
The others have been missing
That thing for which young boys have been found blatantly wanting

But a man, a real man, possess it in spades

R.E.S.P.E.C.T.- it's not just a song sung by Aretha
It's a lifestyle lived out by men of integrity
Men who approach a lady not thinking of themselves and what they may gain
But who are hell-bent on, if allowed, soothing a woman's pain

Young miss, I know the search is rough
Young miss I know this road is tough

My goal is to be all that He has intended
Respect you as His creation
You're not some thing to be had, I aint that twisted

Now you supposed men out there I must address you as well

'Cause you seem to think that "Christian gentleman" means pacifist
Take it from this former bodyguard and prison security officer, that title don't fit

I respect women and demand the same from you
I see you with you girl and witness all you do
I see her carrying all the groceries while you texting your boy
She's struggling with a twin stroller while soothing your young boy
She opens her own doors after you've walked through it
I catch it, hold it open for her, cause you weren't present enough to do it
I see you at your crib chilling on the game console
So distracted you take no note of when the soles
Of your girl's feet, again, hit the floor

Two words for you, Man up!
The little you've been doing for that treasure of a girl
Aint enough

Let's refuse to be ordinary, everyday, boring, run-of-the-mill!
Instead
Let's be that warm coat against winter's chill
Let us be, men, what our ladies dream of
So when she wakes next to us, she's next to who she's dreamed of
Let us be the reason her girlfriends are envious
Let it be obvious why our girls are so into us

Young miss, I address you again in closing
I hope my intensity hadn't been too imposing
You've gotten a glimpse into my mindset
You see how high a bar I've set

Not only for myself but the other males in the room
I refuse to disrespect you, nor would I let them cross that line
Keep this in mind
When I sit next to you on the couch
As we learn, laugh and pour our hearts out
That one principle reigns from deep within me
