Courtship

To me dating is a dance

A chance for me to see

Will you love me

Will you respect me

Will you listen to me

And not railroad me into being someone I'm not

Some vision of love you've perfected in your own head

Will you get me

The real me

That's who I am trying to be

Can you help me see myself

Can you help me be even more real?

But again. I don't mean corrected any flaws you might find I me

Simply holding a mirror up for me to see

Who I am

And I am going to see if during this time period

The desire to do this exact same thing for you stays, builds or wains

3 years of dating ought to do maybe. Lol

Greatest talent

I'm smart

Above average intelligence (if you want to go by a few tests)

Most would say pretty probably

Not gorgeous necessarily

Voluptuous

Sensual even sometimes

But what I feel is my greatest attribute

Is the ability to connect with other people

On a deeper level than the superficial nonsense

We all play through all day long

The thing is that

To be at that level of vulnerability

Involves a deep strength

That I haven't quite mastered yet full-time

So

A lot of that time I play along

With fun

And lightness

Or so is the aim

With melancholy and seriousness

When I can't quite get even there
