grow up and tell me what you want

most people fail to grow up

yeah,  there's some areas you've missed

your faults not due to no one

you chose pain instead of true bliss

your inability to commit

not held to your detached father

there's a loving heart you omit

to just love all the world's daughters

i will admit i cannot commit

and i am also fearful of amorous confessions

without a mother to also submit

to love, to monogamous affections

she showed me distance

just like you say your parents surround you with

but i fought with persistence

to love the way i want to love and to live the way i want to live

and i have matured in the process

no longer hurting others in my selfish decisions

initially i am upfront and honest

but i have never asked you for a commitment

i cherish our friendship and kinship

that developed through our trying times

we don't have to begin or finish

just be an adult and make up your mind

do not search for excuses

you are the one who caught feelings

i am not trying to be intrusive

in your life, you chose love's veiling

then reneged and yelled it out,

blurted it out from under your breath

well it's out, it just fell from mouth

out from the dusty attic in your head

now you are different?

why change, i didn't

i don't want your hand in marriage

or to rear your children

i will still cradle your sadness

and keep an ear to listen

whether we move further or stand still

it is not as serious to me as you think

or is it not me or the thought of love's thrill

but that you finally want what you really need? TeeTee
