\"and<\/p>\n

and you ask me\u2026
\nhow will i know it's him
\nwhen he comes along?
\ni'll know it's him
\nby the way he walks in
\nwearing respect like a nice suit
\nand holding that
\ntake. it. slow. magic.
\nwith his self-love, self-required,
\njust radiating liberation from old men\u2019s tales,
\nand because\u2026
\nbefore he lets me love him\u2026
\nit will matter that i love myself.<\/em>
