A recipe proven disaster-inviting!

So I found me a quiet man, as I recall;
Alone at the party, his back to the wall.
He wasn’t surrounded by women you see,
Or dripping in gold as I thought men should be;

It took me a month of trying to shake him;
To realize to keep him I’d have to take him;
Just as he was, and ultimately;
Change all my concepts of what men should be.

I shudder to think that this happy ending;
Could have been missed had I been unbending;
Now I have violins, my heart has wings!
All cause I stopped wanting all the wrong things!

Foolish was I to cry and regret,
Without making changes and still to expect;
A whole different outcome, like wondering why;
Those long cherished apples won’t make cherry pie!

BAD BOYS

I used to love bad boys and found them exciting;
A recipe proven disaster-inviting!

So I found me a quiet man, as I recall;
Alone at the party, his back to the wall.
He wasn’t surrounded by women you see,
Or dripping in gold as I thought men should be;

It took me a month of trying to shake him;
To realize to keep him I’d have to take him;
Just as he was, and ultimately;
Change all my concepts of what men should be.

I shudder to think that this happy ending;
Could have been missed had I been unbending;
Now I have violins, my heart has wings!
All cause I stopped wanting all the wrong things!

Foolish was I to cry and regret,
Without making changes and still to expect;
A whole different outcome, like wondering why;
Those long cherished apples won’t make cherry pie!

I think I can understand the allure of the bad boy,
the driving force, a projection, vessel-like, this exploitation seemingly conjuring salient high risk also pays off in high adventure.
The game player good at playing the game while this other guy says nothing, he/'/s shy, and appears completely
lost.
At least that/'/s how I projected it, as I was the guy who
was completely lost.
I was at the certain age, not good at being around girls.
Put me on a basketball court, or football field, I was myself. But me at the school dance, I had trouble
saying a basic phrase.

I admired the bad boys too. Strangely enough, they thought I was cool too.
Go figure.

Peace!

Many women never wise up.
Often the best choice is right in front of them but they don/'/t see it.
Great flow and write.
Much wisdom here!
