singly

waiting hasn't always been my forte
so let me begin by saying waiting on this man
this one that's supposed to be my number one match
the one who can accept that I want him to take charge
the one that understands he's gon have to tell me to slow my roll
and I'm gon look like huh? but i'm gon like it
because i LIKE aggressive
that man that wants to eat good because i like to cook from scratch
make your plate...draw your bath
have your back, listen to you and what happened during your day
now wait...it all sounds good, but i'm not the neatest
so understand we have to work together to keep it...clean
*shrug* hey, we all fall short somewhere
understand i'm self conscious and shy sometimes
nervous and sad sometimes
but mostly i like to laugh...all the time
now wouldn't you think that would make the recipe for a great woman?
well...first, you have to see beyond my seeming lack of interest
see, i've been courted and dropped...more than one time
i have no interest in listening to idle chit chat
you have to know you want to get to know me, and come say so
what's wrong with wanting a man who wants to be that?
this one that is going to stand over me, hold me and love me
and let me love him...man, do you not see me over here preparing myself???
there's not a thing wrong with wanting, nothing wrong with having a vision
but i'm sure tired of looking at a mirage
thought it was him, oh, wait, no...i got it!
*sigh*
ugh
ok, i'll be patient...but since i am...can he be over six feet with dark chocolate skin, white teeth, no baby mama drama
lord...no baby mama drama
i mean...since i'm waiting this long might as well get what i REALLY like...right?
let him be intimate with his creator, in touch with himself and in tune with me
let him be artistic and fine, brilliant and MINE...
can he be independent, loyal, communicative???
i ain't say perfect...don't miss my point...but can he at least have some integrity?
an ounce of loyalty?
he can get on my nerves...i'm sure he will amyway
but do i have to put up with a lie, a sneak?
i just want to be patient and see where he be
but i tell you this waiting thing...really isn't for me
