Misconceptions

Sometimes some things aren’t what they seem
Like the dude who flashes the money, but really has none
Or the popular pretty girl who lacks the self esteem
There’s another common misconception with the single life
People think that there isn’t a single strife
It’s funny, cuz among all the serenity there are things that test your integrity
This is what I struggle with
Others too busy figuring out who’s next to snuggle with
While I’m trying to figure out why they drop these subtle hints
By ‘they’ I’m referring to the forbidden ones
Some have boyfriends; others have husbands with daughters and sons
Hard to understand their romantic advances and sexual innuendo
Claim they’re happy at home, but the next day someone’s climbing out their window
I will never be one to hurt the one I’m with, for now I’m walking alone
While I’m searching for my other half
They’re taking for granted what they already have
Being a man it’s hard to say no to temptation
Even if I don’t believe in sex without true feelings, I’ve taken part
No real connection, just the lust and a meaningless sensation
I now understand when they say that it’s an empty feeling with this kind of sex
After the fact, really hard not to be vexed
I used to promise myself that I would never be ‘that guy’
The one to potentially home wreck
I’m sick and tired of giving a piece of mine
I write this to give y’all some peace of mind
It’s not about me figuring out what to say, but rather saying what I feel
I can no longer lie to myself; I have to keep it real
To those in a relationship, hold on to yours as tight as you could
If you don’t, some other person out there gladly would.
