In reality, the only place things count.
What if love does not exist, then my reality check bounced.

Patience and time and just let it be.
Sounds great for everyone, but sounds like more shit to me.

I'm not made for standards someone else set.
I do what I do cause I am tired of regret.

Thanks to all the men who came and checked out.
Wasting time was all I ever cared about.

I know what people think, but I'm too old to care.
I know how to love and I know I'm prepared.

Relationships don't come easy and men don't know what women need.
Women only want love, and with that men have so much greed.

My heart is hoping, yet my mind keeps laughing.
Wondering how the fuck I keep caring before I see it happening.

Friends first maybe something more.
Do I look like a maybe kind of girl, do I look like a whore?

If a man feels nothing but then he acts like he does.
Then he says somethings that make you want to fall in love.

Life is short, and it's not getting any better.
Love if your out there mother fucker it's now or never.
