Calling you my man,
My other half, my soulmate,
Does not mean you should disrespect me,
Playing me left, right and centre as you please.
It only means I love you.

And I’m expecting you to love me back.
Make me feel happy and needed.
Admire me like you admire a piece of art,
That had captured your interest,
Caught your heart and eye.
Only because I’ve decided to give you love.
To you and not anyone else.

Checking up on you every second,
Minute and day I get time does not
Mean I can’t breathe or live without you,
Hold your breath,

Don’t turn it into a habit because
It can change at any time. But the
Only person who can make it change
Is you. It means I care about you.
Take control while the ball is still in your court.

Ignoring your other woman’s
Texts and calls, your late arrivals,
Does not mean I don’t see anything,
It doesn’t mean I’m not hurting,
It’s just that I respect your privacy,
I choose to trust you even if you
Don’t deserve my trust.

I choose to turn a Blind eye to everything
Negative, but don’t treat me like
A piece of rubbish or like I’m just
Some girl you know. I’m your woman,
Your lady.

Make me feel and see it
Through your words and actions.
If I’m not enough for you, let me know
Right on time, I’ll accept.
It’s better to be hurt by the truth and facts
Then to be consoled and comforted by Lies.

My calling you the King who
Owns my heart, does not give
You any responsibility and
Authority to abuse me, misuse
My love and exhaust my
Sweetness. Remember you’re not
my Man until you put a ring on it.

I can leave you at any time
To be with someone who can treat
Me better than you do.
That somebody is already there,
Waiting for you to leap so that your loss
Becomes his treasure. Just be
Aware and careful.
