"dating myself" - Poetri

Everywhere I go I see ugly people
with cute people,
and I can't help to ask myself
what does she see in that guy?
inner beauty? Well, I have a whole lot of that
I see these happy couples and I used to think
what do I have to do to get a girl
like that?
Then that evolved into
what do I have to do to get a girl?

Now, I'm exhausted from thinking.
fatigued from trying to convince myself
that I'm worthy of another being,
tired of looking but not really looking
so it doesn't appear that I'm desperate
weary of being afraid to tell someone
that I'm interested,
in fears that they will avoid me
consumed from being alone
no longer will I be at the mercy of
ladies to like me,
no longer will I be trying to look
my best for women
that don't know that I'm
in love with them.

no more oh!!!

Yes from now on I am dating myself!

I already talk to myself
so I know my conversations wil be good
I've always said that I wanted to be with
someone that's just like me.
well there's no one more like me than me
it's not like I'm dating my cousin or nothing
I looked it up,
there's nothing in the law books
that say a man can't date himself
I don't know why I didn't think of this before
I amaze myself, sometimes
I laugh and joke with myself
on lonely days praying
hard for better days
now we can get through the rough
times together.

no one to impress but myself

I probably still will play games
with myself
cry with myself, lie to myself
'cause I'd hate to hurt myself's feelings
I'll only be looking out for myself, though.

but, you know how women are
once they see you with someone
all of a sudden now they want to get with you!
all of a sudden I'm that cute guy
that is dating someone now.

I assure you I'm not doing this to make
other women jealous
I am completely happy with myself
I like myself
I think I am attractive!
I plan to be with myself 'til the very end
or until someone
better comes along
