A Nice Guy

With a deadly combination of smooth and reasonable, he was a nice guy He spoke low with a drawl I slowed down to hear his every word, he was a nice guy He came like the wind that threatened to unsettle my soul, he was a nice guy He had a uneasy relationship with wealth He wanted to be effective far more than he wanted to be rich, he was a nice guy A strange mix of everything male, yet a softness only love can see, he was a nice guy. One day he asked me if he could kiss me I leaned in and everything felt clear. He was intriguing and secure, he was a nice guy He never gave importance to material things Largely into books, providing ballast for his mind. For thirty-five years I’ve known him, he is a nice guy He’s my husband, still a nice guy. 26.09.2020

Fun coincidence: my wife and I have been married 35 years (Dec '84). And she still thinks I'm a nice guy! Great write for your hubby ~ John

Oh, I misread it the first time. I see now that you have known each other for 35 years... still, that's a long time to be together and still be in love. Hats off to you both!
