Many people seem to take it upon themselves to

Correct me if I am wrong

About something in my way of thinking about life and love.

They tell me to have a clean break, or to put myself out there,

I can’t help but believe

That maybe they themselves don’t know what they are talking about.

I personally like to believe that one day I will enter into a permanent relationship

That God ordained

Through obvious signs and His perfect timing.

I will admit that I don’t really know what I am looking for, just that I don’t want to enter different

Relationships of all sorts

For no purpose other than that I prefer to not be alone.

But sometimes I like being alone; it can clear my head and allow my thoughts

To be uplifting

To both myself and others, rather than focusing on how to snag a man.

It’s good to spend time on friendships first, working on the foundation of a relationship so that it’s

Not a big game

Of who should call whom, or playing hard to get.

If my intentions are godly and pure, then there is no need to think

Of craftiness and control

But rather how I can love this person better than myself.
