21 Things I Want in a Lover

Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?

Do you not play dirty

When engaged in competition?

Do you have a big

Intellectual capacity, but know

That it alone does not equate wisdom?

Do ya see everything as an illusion

But enjoy it even though you are not of it?

Are you both masculine and feminine?

Politically aware

And don't believe in capital punishments?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover

Not necessarily needs

But qualities that I prefer

Do you derive joy

From diving in and seeing that

Loving someone can actually feel like freedom?

Are you funny?

A la self-deprecating? Like adventure?

And have many formed opinions?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover

Not necessarily needs

But qualities that I prefer

I figure I can describe it

Since I have a choice in the matter

And these are 21 things

I choose to choose in a lover

I'm in no hurry, I could wait forever

I'm in no rush, 'cause I like being solo

There are no worries

And certainly no pressure, in the meantime

I'll live like there's no tomorrow

Are you uninhibited in bed

More than three times a week?

Up for being experimental?

Are you athletic?

Are you thriving in a job

That helps your brother?

Are you not addicted?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover

Not necessarily needs

But qualities that I prefer

I figure I can describe it

Since I have a choice in the matter

And these are 21 things

I choose to choose in a lover

Are you curious and communicative?
