My man

you’re sweet

a good-looking hipster

great smile and heart of gold

You are giving

and you have hope

convinced that your life is set

obsessed because your life is perfect

 

However,

she is human

and humans get bored with what’s right

humans secretly despise responsibility

humans have evolved too far

beyond boredom to insignificance

and

as I said

she is human

 

I am sure you are as good as a good guy gets

that you are her safe, comfortable fulfillment

but humans always want more

so keep shaking things up

and learn how to give just enough

 

If you choose not to, though,

then hold on to who you are

someone else will come along who will try

 

 

 

af

    Yea…It’s a sad truth of dating, especially for us straight men!
