Take Notes

I’m gonna teach you how to treat me

Cause I don’t think that you know

I want you to call just to see what I’m doing just to say hello

I want you to stop thinking so much of yourself and make me in your top priority

I don’t want to feel as though I’m in this alone, cause what would be the point of 

having you

You always want me to say what I need why cant you ask if theirs anything I lack

Why must I always schedule dates and appointments? 

Why don’t you ever call back?

There is another man a man who knows my worth 

A man who is not too proud to ask why I hurt

Someone who will comfort me when I feel as though I will cry

Sometimes I wonder why you don’t hold me as much as I want you to

I’m not a priority in your life 

This dating relationship is suppose to be practice for how you treat wife

Right now you do a good job but at times you slip up

At times I don’t know if I should keep trying or just give up
