Careful examination
Of the opposite sex,
Requires scrutiny
At it's very best.
One can never determine
If someone is true,
Or even to say
That trust is an issue.
Many times I have found,
Someone I thought profound.
But something always came about,
That gave me room to doubt.
Thank God for giving me wisdom;
I wasn't entirely struck so dumb.
I managed to see through them,
And began my life again.
It took a very long time,
For me to find the right sign.
I just had to wait awhile you see,
For just the right one to come to me.
I guess I got a little too anxious,
As I surmise a lot of people do.
But it's terribly hard
To find the one that's true.
I finally bided my time,
And God blessed me just fine.
I now have my true love,
That fits me like a glove.
Not to suggest
That love is a glove,
But how else to describe
That no other can sub.
I could give a lot of similarities,
But that would take too long.
All I can say is
That we do not ping nor pong.
As humans go,
He's fine by me.
That's all I'll say
If you could only see.
I don't know how to explain,
Any better than that.
Definitions of love
Always come up to bat.
So you'll have to find your own way,
To determine what's what.
But remember to take your time,
And not hurry the lot.
