Was I even a good person?
When we first started dating,
I read a hundred online guides,
On how to be a good boyfriend.
In the end,
I followed none of them.
One told me;
Make it seem like you're trying,
But always let your partner win.
That's so stupid I thought,
Cause I wouldn't win anyway.
You'd beat me in a race,
You'd beat me in a wrestle,
You'd beat me at cards,
You'd beat me at anything that wasn't poetry.
And even poetry,
Honestly, that's just me hoping.
Well,
Another said to me;
Shower them in luxury.
But I can't imagine you sitting still,
For an expensive five-course meal,
Or a date at an art gallery;
I don't have the money, anyway.
So I guess you saved me?

RomanceWhat if she's still out there somewhere, with an ear pressed to his heart. What if she's still out there somewhere, with an eye on his lips. What if she's still out there somewhere, with a patience to wait.
