Of course I miss long conversations
At night with a deep voice in my ear
Sure I miss going out every weekend
Enjoying the presence of a special someone
Being wrapped in a man’s arms does sound relaxing
Listening to his heartbeat
Telling him whatever is on my mind
Him making me laugh
Occasionally buying me flowers
Sending me sweet text messages
And being the only caller ID I care about
However
It’s just a want
And by no means a need
I want a man who compliments me
I don’t mean just calling me beautiful
I want a man whose continuously learning
Someone who has or is working for a degree
And has a personal relationship with God
Who drives his own whip
And isn’t so caught up on material things
However
That seems too much too ask for
Many would fall at any man’s feet
But I can’t
No I don’t have a checklist
But if he’s coming in my life
He better have something going on
I’m not desperate
I refuse to accept someone who isn’t trying for nothing
I’m a woman of high value
My confidence is in the walk I do
It’s in the way I carry myself
See I know who I am
And the special man coming has to know the same
My standards may be too high for some
I may come off as stuck up
For not giving just any man a chance
At the end of the day
If I’m pushing 30 years old still single
The last thing I did was settle
I will be living my best life
Man or no man
I’m comfortable with my singleness
Until the right guy comes along who treats me right
And means me well
I’ll continue to be single and happy
Than in a relationship and silently miserable
