Not Looking for Love

I thought it was love on that blissful day
What a wonderful feeling I felt
He broke my heart. This cant be love!
So I replaced him with somebody else
The other time I thought I cared
Told myself repeatedly
That wasn’t love but infatuation
With what he could do for me
And how about that one time
I made a serious commitment
But instead of pain I felt relief
When the relationship finally ended
I can remember the one after that
His swag had me totally shook
But reality set in and it wasn’t love
I was mesmerized by his looks
I dated this one guy with a passion for fashion
I admired his sense of trend
I started to noticed with each passing moment
We had similar taste in men
The other one; I shut him down
Trying to make my house his home
Eating my food, increasing my bills
I was glad to see him gone!
I then met Mr. Wonderful
He sent roses for every event
But I didn’t love him & wasn’t attracted
To anything more than his gifts
Hung out with a playa; we went on a date
I knew he wasn’t the one
That sure wasn’t love but I enjoyed the challenge
Winning his game was fun
Are these my options? Is this what love is?
Why is dating so complicated?
Then I realized that dating is simple
Or as difficult as we choose to make it
So I made a decision, my guard’s going up
I’m keeping my standards on high
No more games or false impressions
No more wasting my time
It’s time for a change, a new resolution
I’m taking a dating hiatus
Single, alone, content and in peace
“Not Looking” is my new status
