For a very long time in my life
I was the guy that girls dated
right before they met their soul mate,
life partner–the one who was serious enough
to move in with them or marry.
Once the revolving door of evolving
partners stopped spinning,
I soon realized that I was always the transition guy
because I was always the one in transition;
and its impossible
for a girl wanting to stability
to get serious with a guy like that
unless they were equally as chaotic and unstable.
And though women like that are most times fun in the beginning,
they rarely amounted to anything past a few warm nights,
a handful of memories, and if I was really lucky,
a poem or two. Which of course, worked out fine,
until I became the person craving stability.
