The Bare Minimum Boyfriend

Guess what kind of man you've got?

He's The Bare Minimum Type.

The Basic Boyfriend.

He does the least he can do but just enough to make you stay.

He's okay for now perhaps.

What if you met a man that actually wanted to be with you,

That made you feel special EVERYDAY?

Would you leave Mr. Minumum?

Until something better comes along?

Plans for the future in hopes of it getting better.

There's always an excuse.

He visits on weekends,

He tells you how much he loves you...

When you have ***

He puts a bit of food in your cupboards,

But doesn't understand you.

He doesn't appreciate your spark,

Your spirituality,

Your sexuality,

Your creativity

And your joy for real life,

And expressions of true love just don't exist in this realm at this time.
