I wanted you to be the one
I wanted to stop looking
End this weird thing I don’t do well
dating
you are a guy all wrapped up in a pretty bow
i’d like to settle on you
but something is holding me back
I don’t know what it is
you seem to want me
but somehow it lacks sincerity
So I’m not going to settle
I won’t stop looking
I’ll keep doing the things I don’t do well
I’ll look beyond the pretty bows
I’ll settle when nothing holds me back
when I find sincerity in kisses
when I find safety in words and arms
when I find that my heart doesn’t care about its hesitations
when passion and truth melt together to identify love
then I’ll settle
when the questions in my heart are answered with exclamations
then I will settle!
when the universe sends me someone holding a bright red stop sign
then I will settle!
Until then I am sorry, but I am breaking up with my idea of you.
