When did I lower my standards? When did I go from tall, dark and handsome to taller than me and doesn't get high everyday? When did I go from he needs to be able to keep up with my conversations, with my obsessions To I'm dumbing myself down for him? When did I go from I will take ******* from no man to maybe he didn't mean it or he was just kidding? When did I lower my standards? When did I go from he must be at least my age To he doesn't look his age? When was I broken? Was it desperation? Was it jealousy? That my friends had met their lovers yet I was still here waiting alone and cold When was it? When did I lose hope? When did I give? When did I lower my standards?
