passing through

A brand new day,
no time for tears,
her loss is your gain.

You can only try so hard,
to save something you value,
and I just had to watch it die,
not knowing the reasons why.

So here I come world,
and here I come girls,
and beware,

because I need someone,
who really can care,
and could hang in 
and stay with me,
and be just as loyal as me,
as it was meant to be.

No wandering eyes,
fixed on something
you see as a prize,
when the grandest of all,
is already laid at your feet.

My standards are high,
but if I make you mine,
it will be my plan,
that it lasts for all time,

so if you take my hand,
plan to stay,
because I wouldn’t reach out,
if I didn’t want it that way.

And please, just pass me by,
if your only passing through.
