I mean she takes good care of me | A |
She's the shy type | B |
But whenever she's with me | A |
She walks so confidently | A |
- | |
Isn't she caring | C |
She doesn't just cook for me | A |
She does my laundry | A |
Not that it's my priority | A |
Or a necessity | A |
She's just naturally angelic | D |
- | |
Where ever I am | E |
She's worried about how I'm fairing | D |
I can only imagine | F |
How well she'd make a good Mummy | A |
I mean | G |
She's got so much great qualities | H |
- | |
Isn't she lovely | A |
She really wants to see me succeed | I |
But then again | J |
Her friends family | A |
Are in a hurry | A |
To get her married | I |
But not necessarily to me | A |
Where does that leave me | A |
- | |
Isn't she for me | A |
Well the truth is quite scary | A |
For time waits for no Man | K |
So I'm in a hurry | A |
Trying to crown the girl of my dreams | L |
Make her my queen | G |
But then again | J |
Unconditional Love changes definition | F |
Because when it comes to men | J |
Love is often conditional | M |
Sometimes this makes me sick | D |
Of being human | F |
Nevertheless | N |
I'm trapped in a stereotype | B |
That barricades me | A |
From every compassion | F |
Consideration | F |
Or true affection | F |
And I quote be a Man | K |
- | |
Well | O |
I've been working tirelessly | A |
In order to make ends meet | P |
As well as making investments | Q |
That were out of my league financially | A |
But I'm afraid | R |
That it'll take a little longer | S |
For me to get ready | A |
Even though I doubt | T |
That they'll ever accept me | A |
- | |
Don't get me wrong | D |
My heart is ready But also heavy | A |
For the weight on my shoulders | U |
Are extra pounds heavier | S |
I know she wishes me well | O |
I know she loves me genuinely | A |
But sometimes I doubt that she truly | A |
Wishes to be with me | A |
I know this isn't the kind of utterance | V |
She'd expect from me | A |
If I pretend with everybody | A |
At least I owe myself some honesty | A |
- | |
The truth is | W |
Right now More than ever | S |
I feel like joy is around the corner | S |
And the morning is drawing closer | S |
- | |
I said to her I had a dream about us | X |
But somehow in the dream | Y |
I couldn't touch you | Z |
And without hesitating | D |
She says to me Maybe it's the reality | A |
Her response really saddened me | A |
But maybe she was right | A2 |
Maybe this was a sign | B2 |
Even though | C2 |
I have no idea why I lied | D2 |
For every time I saw her in a dream | Y |
We were holding hands tight | A2 |
I lied in search of a hidden truth | E2 |
A surveillance for my insight | A2 |
A sad discovery | A |
Yet it is my plight | A2 |
- | |
I have no control over destiny | A |
I notice envy in the eyes of our friends | F2 |
Like Damn they're so lucky | A |
Chuckles | G2 |
If only they knew | Z |
That we're just searching | D |
For our happy ending | D |
- | |
One day she said to me | A |
Temi Whatever happens don't forget me | A |
Lol | A |
Sounds like a catch phrase | H2 |
From an epic movie | A |
- | |
Obviously | A |
I'm not quoting her for mockery | A |
But if there's something | D |
I've learnt from all of this | I2 |
It's not to tie my Happy ending | D |
To the stereotypes people believe in | J2 |
Because life must go on | K2 |
If she's eventually convinced | L2 |
By her friends and family | A |
That her Happy ending isn't with me | A |
Everyone struggles to conquer time | M2 |
How ironic that we still fall victims | N2 |
Story story Happy endings | O2 |
