The Interview

Do you wonder about what I do look for in a partner
Sure, sure, I will tell you what, in a man, I do prefer
My dream man needs to keep me happy, why such is so easy
For that he would need not any pill of ecstasy
He would just have to be made of some specifications

My dream man would firstly have to be in love, yes, he should
Else, why would I even care to be a part of his world
A man in love is a faithful one, a trustworthy one
A man in love is an understanding one, a tolerant one
A man in love shall never ever make me feel like I am all alone

My dream man would need to be open in mind, in ways,
Yes, for with him I would love to enjoy great discussions on essays
Essays pertaining to life, religion, politics, even after life
Yes, a man open in everything does be intelligent
In him, I should see for my soul, a sort of absorbent

My dream man would need to accept my flaws
I am made of many, why, I have suffered so many blows
Yet, I still do strive to pretend that I am made of perfection
Yes, such is I believe for me, the best option
For life, here in this world, is just for a time, just for a while!

My dream man would need to let me be free
Mind you, I do know where my limits do be
But I thrive not in captivity
I thrive rather, in freedom
Yes, I thrive, in loving and reciprocal freedom!

My dream man would need to be made of faith
Yes, he would need to accept that my heart does belong to the skies
Holding hands, both of us, would strive to rise
Always by being pure in morals, in standards
Always by aspiring for more rewards

Yes, these are the obligatory qualities of the one who does wish to be my partner
Mind you, such a man, I believe shall not make me suffer
Together, we shall learn to tame ourselves
Together, we shall heal ourselves,
Yes, together, we shall make of love a haven!

Do you believe you are made of such
Pray, then, come,
We shall try to find where does love come from
Yes, we shall write a new story
One which shall be remembered as long as life shall be!
