FOR WOMEN IN LOVE

Be careful what you wish for.
Pray that you don't get it.
It may be what you didn't want
And you start to regret it.

Don't let him turn you into
Someone who is not "you".
Don't lose your independence
If he says "I love you".

For who is to say what love is?
Who has any clue?
It wears so many faces.
Which face is meant for you?

A woman's perception of loving
May be different than her lover's.
A woman needs just one to love.
A man needs many others.

Self-assured, a woman knows
What pressures she can handle.
When insecurity sometimes shows
It's best to light a candle.

Reflect on where your life is going
Has it changed it's direction?
Be constant in your dreams and goals
Not put off by affection.

Be careful what you wish for
But should you get your heart's desire
Love, cherish and adore him
Don't let him stray afar.

The secret to her happiness
Is knowing she is the "one".
This doesn't happen overnight,
Yet it's still no cause to run.

It takes "two to tango",
And so the saying goes.
Which way will your lover go?
Only heaven knows.

Just take it one step at a time.
Don't lose your self-esteem.
Don't fall for corny, mushy lines
Just to fulfill a dream.

You are a whole person
With him or without.
I hope you've learned a lesson.
Your strength, please never doubt.
