LOOK FOR ANOTHER DATE

LOOK FOR ANOTHER DATE



We have been dating for long,
And now we must decide,
Whether we can together
For a long term abide.

It may surprise you to know
My final decision.
Hope that you don’t think I am
Acting without reason.

I think that our attitudes
Are rather different.
I am too much rooted while
You are truly vibrant.

Love is sex in your parlance
For me, it’s tenderness.
Faithfulness, understanding,
Do love truly harness.

Sex is important for love
But it can’t be the base.
This is a reality
Which you don’t want to face?

One day I will lose my charm,
I won’t have sex appeal.
In that case I don’t know what
About me, you will feel.

No, I think it’s better you
Look for another date.
Only so far, this friendship
Was slated in our fate.
