It’s Not Me It’s You

I’m only thirty seven
He’s six years senior
But called me old
I think he’s lethargic
I want someone bold
To stay young forever
Hike around the world
Build each other up
Learn and grow together
Not cut one another
Down like insecure bullies

    Important to keep in mind it is a partnership not an adversarial relationship. Too many breakups for those who get into the vicious loop of the 2nd one.
