The Greater Man

You may think you are better then me
But here is something you can not see

Any man can have sex with a woman
But it takes a strong soul to stay clean
You are weak because you give in
It is the very fault of most men

I don't go out every weekend night and party
I could...but the question is why I should?
I have done it before, but no more
I am my own person now
A son of God
I am of the few that can live this life
And in the future I will have little strife

You clearly see
There is a huge difference in you and me
You have a girlfriend but cheat on her often
You will one day be ashamed for these things
And in the future these things will come back to haunt
I hope your future lovers will only taunt

I will hold out for a real girl
One that puts my gut in a whirl
I want it to be what I call a marriage
To have and to hold
In sickness and in health

I am stronger willed then you will ever be
And I can see the difference between you and me
You are typical guy that can not see outside the box
The one that can follow through the already opened doors
While I go through new ones and pick the locks

Wow that is amazing. I'm glad to know that there is at least one guy that cares more about a relationship than just the benefits.
