The Trials and Trevails of Finding Dating Terra Firma

Many people view love differently than others
The romantics view it as the greatest thing alive
Their only reason for living in a bizarre dysfunctional way
The cynics considered it to be an accessory that goes with an outfit
Disposable when the person, or trinket was no longer fashionable
Well, from my personal experience love is always in style
Partners are not meant to be thrown out when no longer in season
Like a pair of scuffed up two year old Aerosoles loafers
With the slightly faded light brown color
My significant other was a wonderful person who respected my opinion
A strong shoulder to lean on when waters got severely choppy
Made me laugh when I needed a reason to do so
Every time I see him a big huge smile gets plastered on my face
Yes, the idea of this realist being struck in the head by the love bug
Might be the first sign of the apocalypse or something
But it's better to weather rough terrain with someone
Who has a semblance of an idea of what the journey ahead entailed
Strong hands of a truck driver by night and an inventor by day
Good grip to hold the wheel and soft enough to cuddle with
Falling deeper and deeper in love, which excites and frightens me a little bit
Afraid of getting my heart thrown into a paper shredder
He fears the same thing every so often; as a reminder of being burned in the past
Wanted to comfort and reassure that I was stuck to him as if he was made of Velcro
Secretly annoyed that he'd think I'd be callous enough to break his heart at all
Not New Jersey's answer to Taylor Swift by using and abusing men to write a song
Or sticking around until the next hot trendy pretty boy comes along
Never big on being part of the in crowd anyways; preferred going against the grain
That's why Stanley and I work well together
We have our own styles and ways of dealing with things that fits perfectly
Our joint belief in finding a partner to help balance the load
To help to catch the curveballs that life throws at us
Sure, not everything is going to always be sunshine and roses in a bottle
Disagreements will occur every so often, but we manage
Just when I think that my relationship had some solid footing
All of the proverbial ducks standing in a conga lined row
Wondered when he will believe that I won't leave him
I'm not going anywhere. I'm here to stay. Just deal with it.
