Not Lookin’ For A Love

best friends, friendship, hopeless romantic, love, the little things

I’m a hopeless romantic…
I’m not lookin’ for a love,
I just need someone to reciprocate my shenanigans and antics.

Nah – I’m a realist…
I know nothing lasts forever.

I’m not lookin’ for a love,
I was thinking – maybe we could… just do stuff together.

Maybe we could go to a museum,
grab a bite to eat,
catch a movie,
or go see a play together.

I’m not lookin’ for a love;
however,
I would like to get to know you better…

I’d like to become better acquainted with the jazz hands in your eyes.

I’d like to discover the little things about you;
like – “what kind of sauce do you prefer with Chick-fil-a fries?”

I want to see your heart smile,
I want to become intimate with the windows of your eyes.

I want to read your body language,
I want to listen to your silence;
when you’re not in the mood to talk,
I want to be the one to whom you reply.

I’m a hopeless romantic…
that, I cannot deny.

I’m not lookin’ for a love,
nah – I’m looking for someone that I can call my friend.

Nah – I’m a realist…
I’m looking for someone as weird as me,
I’m looking for someone to share inside jokes with;
I’m not lookin’ for a love,
I’m looking for a friend.

I adore you,
I can’t pretend;
and even if I tried to hide it,
I know you would know better.

I’m not lookin’ for a love;
however,
I would like to get to know you better…

I can’t promise you matrimony,
I can’t foresee forever…
yeah – I was cold as ice,
however,
you make my heart melt;
don’t make plans for tonight,
I’ve made reservations for tonight..
I want to look into your eyes under the moonlight.
I don’t know what forever looks like;
what I know for sure is –
I’m not those guys that hurt you,
they aint deserve you…
this is the beginning of a beautiful life.
I’ve made plans to take you on 18,250 first dates;
fifty years from now,
I want to look back a say:
“my beautiful wife and I have enjoyed so many magical moments in life, together.
She was through with love,
I wasn’t lookin’ for a love;
nevertheless, we became friends
and decided to just do life together.”

Yeah – I know, I said I wasn’t lookin’ for a love;
haha – you caught that,
I figured you would –
that’s why I love you, so whatever…
One thing’s for certain;
there’s no place that I’d rather be
than in your company…
As far as I can see;
when I find you,
we’ll always be together.

I’m not lookin’ for a love;
nah – I’m looking for a beautiful soul that I can converse with,
not just tonight – but the rest of my life,
I’m looking for that “the very thought of you” makes each day better.

I’m not lookin’ for a love;
nah – I’m looking for a beautiful surprise,
I’m looking for that wonderful weirdness when I look into your eyes,
I’m looking for a friendship that I could cherish for life,
I’m looking for my best friend forever.

Yeah – I’m not lookin’ for a love;
I’m looking for my best friend,
my best friend forever,
my best friend forever…

someone who could give me something much more than love,
my best friend,
my best friend forever…

someone who could give me love,
my best friend,
my best friend forever…

someone who I could love,
my best friend,
my best friend forever…

someone who knows that I’m not chasing every woman I see,
my best friend,
my best friend forever…

I need someone that knows the real me,
I just need a best friend,
I just need a best friend forever…

I’m not lookin’ for a love;
I’m looking for the little things,
I’m lookin’ for my best friend,
my best friend forever,
my best friend forever…

Let’s talk redemption,
I want to redeem my life;
the plot twist begins.

The Lion and The Lamb

lambs, lions, more malcolm than martin

It is better to live one day as a lion than one hundred years as a sheep. -Italian Proverb

#codeofthestreets:
You were not born to be a sheep,
you were not born to be pushed and prodded.

The wolves love the sheep,
they lionize the lamb
and they libel the lions…

“Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks.”

-Malcolm X
