GREATER THAN I

He don’t love you like I love you:
with reservations
hesitation and fear in equal measure.
He treasures you
and offers you whatever he has
which is levels of magnitude
greater than I.

He cares
and is not afraid to show it,
to share his appreciation,
devotion
and degree of emotion.
He is a good man,
a better man.
A strong man who can provide you
half of what you deserve.

He don’t love you
like I love you:
he loves you right.
