Everybody Loves Raymond Poem by Colette Dright

I never knew how this could be true
Until I myself began to love Raymond too
The last man to kiss on these sweet lips
The passion and excitement of him I truly miss

Others called him Raymond, but I called him Ray
Because of the light and sunshine he brought to me each day
He is the only man that can trigger my heart
And makes it pitter patter
And can get me to a place in this world
Where nothing else even matters

There will be a day when I will run across Ray
But then what will I do? Better yet, what will I say?
Our eyes will say what our mouth won't speak
As my heart pitter patters and my flesh gets weak
He can trigger that fire in one quick sec
I smile as I sit back, reminisce and reflect

My body will be ready and so will my heart
But my mind will know for sure, that this is not the time to start
No, no, no, no second string, or side piece
Not even his "lil Boo"
For that is something neither one of us is not about to do

Time, circumstances and certain situations
Were the reason why we never had sexual relations
Some flashy moments and hot, passionate kisses
Would be as far as we both would go
I wonder, ooh I wonder, but I guess we'll never know

Although we came close and there were times
That became extremely heated
His gentle hugs and soft caress was really all I needed

I'm grateful and thankful he exposed me to greater
I didn't know love like this in my younger days,
I had to wait til later

Sometimes I wonder and sit in a daze
My love for this man, I am truly amazed
Such a compassionate man, so fragile with me
I love our quiet moments and how it used to be

Will I ever be intimate?
Will there ever be another who could take me to this height?
If I ever come across him, then maybe I just might

Don't know if everybody else still loves Raymond
But I know I surely do
He'll always have a place in my heart and this is oh so true

Distant love doesn't mean a thing and has never faded away
And that is why I can say, I still love Raymond this day
