sometimes it's funny

                                                                               

when i remember the days of intentionally bragging about loving the single life
that was full of freedom, in being free of commitment, and precarious, at the best of my times 
i didn't mind breaking the hearts of the shallow relationships that tried tying me down
it's funny
the minute a voiced commitment, or title was put upon me
away i'd go
sometimes i feel light years ahead of myself, only months ago

now i'll commit the best i know how
not because i have to. 
but because i want to.
because i'd love to.
