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?
