The Guy You Settled For (A Poem)

You can do better than me.

That’s what I constantly hear.

Whether it comes from your friends, 

Or some random guy at the bar drinking a beer.

They think you settled, and they are probably right.

You are, after all, a ten while I am just a generous five.

That means at the minimum,

I am the luckiest man alive.

There are plenty of other guys you could have.

In fact, I can see them all waiting impatiently in line.

However, while they may be younger, more handsome and energetic.

I can guarantee you they’ll never be as respectful and kind.

Others may promise you the world and/or a good time.

But you’re never going to find a man who is as devoted or will love you more

Than the lucky guy

You settled for.
