Real World Relationships
REAL WORLD RELATIONSHIPS
It is true that we all have expectations of others
With whom we feel we want to form a bond
And it's unrealistic to think that every woman
Is going to be "Cinderella" and every man
Is going to be "Prince Charming"
Should it also be unrealistic to find
That a man or woman who appears caring
Sharing, loving and kind, just in terms
Of presenting a first impression
Bursts our notion of "romantic love"
Later finding that they are total opposites
I believe in being "real"
Which has it's drawbacks
Would I like a man to send me flowers
Just because, of course…
But I would not want him to
Do so as an obligation
What man would not want a woman
That takes care of his needs in every way
This is a real world relationship
