Secrets of the Abyss

Yes, you!
You seem so nice and true.
Your intentions look genuinely unselfish,
Modest and prudent, you seek my attention.

You are willing to do everything you can,
Offering me relief, joy and abundance.
Ovewhelmingly showering me with care and affection no matter what time of day!

I marvel at how you do it.
I don't even give you anything in return,
Yet you don't fail to give
And give and give more.

Once again, I dug deep in my treasure chest
Examined the voice within.
It's full of hope and love,
Yet, 'tis too soon to share.

I am telling you, dear stranger
That you might lose a lot of time waiting.
I don't want to keep you from your quest.
I am happy for what I am right now.

Where I am is where I am supposed to be,
Alone, single, happy and lonely at the same time.
I know it sounds weird
But this is how I feel right now.

Your offer of love is enticing,
Maybe, if you came at the right moment,
I have grabbed it instantly.

But, alas!
My heart is not ready for you
Nor for any other man.
I am content and peaceful
of what I have in life.

We can remain friends if you want,
But please don't let me keep you
From meeting the right woman for you
Keep looking, keep waiting
And don't let me impede you.

At an early stage of our acquaintance,
I've felt your sincere commitment
Your love and devotion
Your whole being...

Oh, happy is she who finds you
I hope it was me
But I am not ready
So go ahead, pass me by
Give someone else a try.
