Start with a good base
as the sprinkles feel alone
without the ice cream
to hold them

With the sprinkles
grab a handful of respect,
add trust, honesty, and loyalty
mix it up good

My interest is piqued

A dash of humility
and we are off and running
it compliments
the bold taste of confidence

His texture is intoxicating

A spoonful of compromise
doesn't hurt
as it tones down the bitterness
of arguments

Our lumps and hard knocks
are so easy to smooth out

Add in unsalted friendship
warming it with patience and understanding

My heart skips a beat

Oh and for goodness sake
don't forget the spice of life
it knocks out the bland taste
of everyday life

Taste me, lick me,
knead me with your strong hands
find the right combination
to make me ooze with sweetness

What was once dry is now moist
never skimp on the ingredients
or love will be lost and without flavor

So always make the time,
to mix and measure
and have a steady heart and hand
and all the perfect ingredients

I savor every bite
of his love,
cooked up just right!!
