Transitions (From Boy To Man)

A boy will look at your body,

A man can see your soul,

he knows you have much more to offer,

with you, he can grow

A boy wants to spend the night or two,

But a man wants to share your life,

A boy hunts for a "piece,"

a man yearns for peace and tranquility in a wife.

A boy will leave you insecure,

when you wonder where he is,

with a man you`re always reassured

because he takes care of his.

A boy will hear you

A man will listen to you share ideals

of your feminine mentality

A boy will enjoy just physical chemistry

which implants temporary companionship

A man appreciates more than just biology

Which embodies the epitome of what I need to see;

I know you diggin’ me! "lol"

A boy chooses snacks over meals, and as a result

loses his appetite in a quest for digestion

A man will settle for a main course,

maintaining a balanced diet,

and will not skip a beat waiting for that dessert

Boys can give you moments, a man can bring memories,

He values things like trust, and in you, he will believe.

Since then, I`ve learned to change my ways, for reasons few can understand,

I used to be your boy, but now, I want to be your man.

Yeah, I'm feeling the fact that you changed ON YOUR OWN. I like the fact that you as a man, know the difference between a man and a boy. Well done, and well said. Kudos.
