Your proposal is tempting and appears so sweet
Is this the fruit I've longed to eat?

We've both seen things that were disappointing,
We've both known that familiar ache
We want that special someone to have so we won't    play the game.

I'm still looking and you've gone through many
Can anything quench the fire that's within?

You say I'm different and maybe you are too
But how can I know from all the lies you've said.

I know the truth, I'm not child
I've been through some things, never calm or mild
All I ask is for trust, loyalty and respect
I learned some things about you and began to suspect

Why go through the trouble of lies?
They only cause harsh goodbyes
I don't need all your time, I don't want gifts
I just want you, the man, not the little boy or myth

Games with the mind are not to played
Pride should not get in the way
Can you be mature and commit to what you say?
Or should I leave you in the playpen to stay?

Your proposal is tempting and appears so sweet
But is this really the fruit I deserve to eat?
