Why I'll Wait
Oct 18 '09
The Bottom Line While I mainly wrote this as a stand-alone piece, it could also be considered a sequel to "I Don't Want You" (link on my profile).
Liars
Fakes
Hypocrites
Cheaters
Loose women in tight clothes
Antics of the undeservedly rich and totally infamous
Splashed all over the glossy pages
Bad lessons and invalues, trickling down to
Impressionable young bodies and minds
Who can’t soak it up fast enough
Life isn’t imitating art anymore
It’s imitating bad habits, bad behaviour
But this isn’t about blame
It’s about a search
For someone who sees it all for
How shallow it really is
Someone who rises above
Who knows pop culture because it’s unavoidable
But cares about things on a much deeper scale
“I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines”, sings Shirley Manson
But those girls have personalities as thin as the pages they’re printed on
Openness
Honesty
Integrity
Dignity
Class
Free-thinking
SELF-RESPECT
These are qualities I’m looking for
I won’t go near a girl without them
It’s not about being high and mighty - I know I’m not perfect
It’s about seeing what’s really meaningful, and staying away from what isn’t
I don’t see a relationship as a race to the bedroom
It’s an adventure, starting with an attraction,
That soon develops an emotional attachment
One that, when you’re truly lucky, becomes an unbreakable bond
I haven’t found her yet, and I don’t know when or how I will
But I know it will happen, and will be worth the wait
That’s enough to keep me away from meaningless relationships
The one who is worth it will get everything I have to give
And everything I have ever had to give
I won’t waste
Money
Time
Energy
Love
Myself
On anyone who subscribes to a shallow way of life
Who sees the world for what it is
But doesn’t look for what it could or should be
Life is deep.
Multi-faceted.
All-encompassing.
So is love.
Lust has none of that
It’s ruling the world
But it won’t rule me
That’s why I’ll wait
