Forget Making Me Happy
If you really want someone to love you
You should set aside making them happy
And just focus on why you love them.
We’re all flawed, I am certain you know too,
For when feeling unloved we feel crappy
Though our egos might shine at the gym!
Hard enough to believe that she values
Things inside that you doubt people notice
For self-doubt is where most of us live.
Though her love might look real, doubt continues,
The intransigent fear of a lotus,
Holding beauty is not much to give.
So don’t think you’re to blame if rejected
Even God has to struggle with this one
It’s just part of the dance we go through.
Groucho Marx to all friendships objected
Never sought any club’s satisfaction
So sure devil had staked out his due.
Simply tell me you love what you’re seeing
And you hope that I also have noticed
Some traits charming enough to be fair.
I don’t care if we’re ever agreeing,
Or if you will be true the remotest,
Please just drag me back home to your lair.
