Infatuation tempts me
when reason does not.
So if I am interested in you
and then suddenly not
do not get offended
for I have merely clued
my lonely heart
that you are not the one
who is meant to enjoy
the reward that is me.

Please do not
misunderstand me.
Honest I will be,
fair and true, too.
But these days I find
that women get off easy
with regards to relations.
Sit there and wait
for a man to come along.
When do they impress me?

Do a little dance for you?
Please.
I don't smooch the rear
even at job interviews.
Keep it real, keep it true;
that's all you girls say.
So when I am
and I fit your perfect man,
why go for that jerk
with fancy things?

Oh I see.  Comfort.
Comfortable is not:
cuddling and conversation,
love and understanding?
It's the fast car and wild
attitude.  For your sake
it is better to leave me now
so when you come back
late, hurt and alone,
will I pick you up?
