Other Than That

11/11/2020 Unlike most, just speaking facts At times I met my match And had to start over from scratch Wasn't out to put others on blast I'm just not one to hide behind a mask Focused on the task A helping hand was lent, regardless of if asked This life moves oh so fast I ended up in first, and I ended up in last A cave filled with life, including bats A diminishing forest :( , with a colony of rats A neighborhood with sick or healthy dogs and cats You're more than quite the catch Excuse me Ma'am you caught my eye from first glance While I got the chance I'd like to ask If you'd like to go out eat and maybe dance Before such an opportunity has passed Perhaps, I can take you out to a fine restaurant with class Or if you'd prefer, we can have a picnic on the grass My goal is toward a successful path I have no feelings of wrath To me life is not just about cash I'm looking for my other half Other than that I've always got you and your back If you want it, just ask Toward each other, fixing any gap Not talking any cap (lies) or crap If we want to, traveling around the globe, with or w/o a map You make me feel so good, and you make me laugh I wouldn't take a single thing back Just staying on track And making a pact Doing well at saving cash In a world so vast Moving forward, not staying in the past Alas No longer aghast Was able to Avast
