Be Real

Be real to me. Give me truth not fiction or your made up reality. Let this foundation be built on a rock. As time pass and sand washes away, I'll know that your love is here to stay. Fake isn't my plan. I'm all grown up now and need a real man Not pointless words that leak out as you breathe, but something that will nourish and sustain me. Let your actions speak all that you are. Your character in a whole, not a little boy acting out stories that he's been told. Man up to the things you say you want in life Be real to me honesty doesn't cut like a knife Don't dance me around with words just to put a smile on my face I'm a big girl I can take the real any day Mean every word that you say!!!!!!!!!!! Just be real!

I'm impressed!!! Actually haven't read anything like this yet! I find myself preaching that to other guys at times...Its simply honesty..what goes on in the dark shall come into the light..since no one is perfect..I would say 98% of the time instead of keeping it 100. All women want a guy to be real..if not then move around.....enjoyed..INK-U-SCRIPT

Your poem is wonderful and should be a primer for people on relationships.
