I was watering my rose garden and you walked by my place
I almost ran up to you in a lustful, unsensitive haste
I almost cried cause I acted so insensitive
But I wanted you to know about the feather-soft warmth I could give
I respect your feelings
I respect your gender
I respect your existence
I’ll always be tender
Cause I respect your feelings
As a woman and a human
I’ll be the pansy-growing gardener of our bouquet of love
A flower-wielding soldier with the grace of a dove
I’ll love you all, heart, mind and soul, I’d never think of anything cheap
I’ll read you some of my poems before you go to sleep
I respect your feelings
I respect your gender
I respect your existence
I’ll always be tender
Cause I respect your feelings
As a woman and a human
A guy who thinks being respectful makes him gay, is someone you have to feel sorry for. You can be secure and confident in your own gender, and also not be an asshole to the opposite sex at the same time you know.
