salamat, P!

Ladies, how do we measure a man
Do we have a checklist we tick off and scratch
With every little thing he does
And every little thing he can’t
Do we judge the timbre of his voice
And read between the lines
Do we look at what he’s become
Plus all his dreams combined
Do we feign disinterest
And show him we don’t care
Or do we throw ourselves at him
Wide open, willing to share
Do we judge him by his gentleness
And how he respects others
Or do we prefer him rough
And think tough might be better
Do we play games with him
The classic one of push and pull
Do we hide and seek
Trade roles on who will pursue
Ladies, here’s the thing so listen up
We may have been hurt many times
But that’s no reason to give up
The very basic road to happiness
Is not littered with potholes and detours
Your happy ever after can’t come
If you aren’t certain and you aren’t sure
All you ever really need to know
Is how a good man looks like
And I may not know a lot of things
But I know what that is like
A good man is someone has faith
A good man is someone who has a pure heart
Someone devoted and loyal
And won’t sway at every bend
Someone who can make you laugh
Until your insides and your spirits soar
Someone who can sit with you in silence
Nothing less, nothing more
Don’t be distracted by flowery words
Listen instead for the truth
He will be someone you can rely on
Someone who is steadfast, strong and true
He will want what you want
And do all he can to make you happy
But he will know when to say no
Especially when you’re just being silly
Above all (and this is the most important thing)
A good man is a brave man
He will not be afraid to go after you
Until the deal is done
He will not stop until you and him
Are made joyfully into a we
He will not stop until he can declare
That he wants to be with you for all eternity
So don’t waste your time, ladies
With all these men who pretend to be good
Maybe it’s time to not settle
And finally to do what you should
And that is to wait, wait, wait
Wait as long as you have to
Wait as long as it takes
Wait until a good man finds you
And not because you looked for him
But because you are right where you are
Doing what you’re doing
Helping yourself raise the bar
Focus on you and do what you want
Go after your own big dreams
And do all you can to make them come true
And even when you think it seems
He’s never going to come
It’s taking too long and more than you can bear
He might be on his way to you
Ready to give and ready to share
He might even be under your nose
Right where you refuse to look
A good man might be right beside you
You just have to wake up and be shook
And maybe then, maybe then
Just like in the movies with a promise of forever
You will be with your good man
Happily ever after
