There Will Be Better

There will be better men.
Men who will write melodies in my heart.
Men who will calm the quelling storm.
Men who will conquer the cold lonely nights and emit only their light...
But they won't be you.

There will be better men.
Men who won't lie, steal or cheat.
Men who value the honor of their word.
Men whose smile is as genuine as the verbs that preceded that action of satisfaction...
But they won't be you.

There will be better men.
Men who pay homage to my beauty.
Men who work hard to displace my frown.
Men who carry their armor to battle for love not hate and my fear will dissipate...
But they won't be you.

There will be better men.
Men whose poetry belongs solely to me
Men who think first of God, then US, then himself.
Men who portray a mirrored version of their soul and not some story he was told...to tell...again...
But they won't be you.

There will be better men.
Men whose journey through my life will leave seeds of hope and joy
Men whose purpose is to feed my own positive energy
Men whose eyes never lie or despise nor seek victory in my heart's demise...
But they won't be you.

There will be better men.
One man in particular who will embody all of the above
Whose love through compromise and promise will be sealed by a ring of unity and trust
Who will supply my heart's truest desire through the merging of our flesh and blood
But he won't be you.

I wonder if I'll hesitate before I say "I do."
I wonder if a part of my heart will be my "something blue"
I wonder if my something old will block my feelings for my "something new"
If so I wonder if he'll know I'm thinking "He's not you."

I love love love this one. And that day sure will come, some of these men don't know how to love the jewels they have.

Favorite and most powerful line: I wonder if my something old will block my feelings for my "something new". I think I might have you ghost-write some things for me. Good job gyal.
