The Traditional Girl Reply to the Millenial Boy

NialleAihara

I won't live with you and be your Love,

Fall for your tactic unless you prove.

Those sweet words, long messages on messenger,

Late night talks won't even matter.

Mark my word, I will never be yours,

Nor believe, I will close the doors.

In this era where traditional courting is gone,

Don't court me on chat, please be a MAN!

Serenade me in the Azotea, not on Instagram,

Visit me when you are free, not on Skype if I'm lonesome.

I will introduce you to my family, will you be here?

I hope you will not be nervous and suddenly disappear.

Those chocolates, flowers, and sweets are not what I need,

I need your time, efforts, please hear my heart that bleeds.

Take me to church, let us pray to God,

Let us travel for hours, please don't get mad.

Take me to the library instead of club and party,

Lead me to Christ, instead of hatred and misery.

Love me for who I m and not for what I am,

I'll be patient with you if you ever come.

I'm a traditional girl and you're a millennial boy,

Material things are not what I want, I hope you know.

Flowers may fade but True Love will not,

Let us take our vows; I'll love you a lot.
