Call me old fashioned
But I dream of a love that's true
One where my better half means
the things that they say && do
Where photos of other women
On social media, among other places
Mean nothing to them compared
To the look we share between our faces
Where they're not constantly on the look out
For someone better to come along
Because they know deep down that being
With anyone else would just feel wrong
Maybe they'd know that I was the one
Right from the very start
Or maybe it would take time for them
to open up their heart
I'd go to the ends of the earth
To make sure they never felt alone
&& I hope that they'd do the same for me
That they'd let our love set the tone
So call me old fashioned
But I can't play these new aged games
My heart wasn't built to wander around
Once it finds a home, it wants to stay
It's so easy for people to jump from one person to the next these days with the speed of the internet && the speed of life. I've just never understood this aspect of people. While I admire their resilience, I just can't imagine being able to grab on && then let go so quickly. Good for them I suppose. That's just not who I am, && I've accepted this about myself.
