she spoke to me like i was a king
she wasnt a begger
a noble
a peddler
she spoke to me
like she was a queen
not sure what else stuck out to me
she was wise
confident
overwhelmingly serine
gorgeous eyes
smile like the sun
and she spoke to me
like i was the one
an equal of no lesser brand
and thats how i remembered
that she was a lady
and i was, in fact, a man
i guess sometimes thats what it takes
to clear up any misplaced ambitions
to be like the rest of these fakes
a real woman showed me
that i was a king
and i realized
i was a real man
because thats what i stepped up to be
