Not The One For Me

A special thanks to those,
That treat me like a choice,
You made me set my boundaries,
Gave confidence to my voice.

For loyalty and respect,
I deserve the very same,
No longer accept manipulation,
Play part of any game.

Don't longer waste my time,
Hoping for change one day,
No half ass efforts accepted,
Only treated the right way.

If you can't appreciate,
The gift that is me,
I'll walk by with a smile,
Being the best version of me.

For love is a two street,
Working together as a team,
Bringing the best out in each other,
As we laugh and live the dream.

I ask for this and nothing less,
If that you can not guarantee,
Don't even waste my time,
You're not the one for me.

If they're all one sided it's best to call it a day. Tom
