rule 167: when he's not the 'one'

who wrote the rules for this dating game?
where do I go to ask?
I like him
and he treats me right,
he wants to spend time with me,
he sends me flowers at work,
and comes over late at night with chocolate,
and gin
and a grin,
does the rule book demand
I turn him away at the door,
send him on his way?
does the rule book say if
he isn't the "one"
I can't let him come on in?
I can't let him treat me the way I like
make me feel special with his touch?
let him treat me the way he wants to?
let him tell me I'm
funny,
and sexy
and smart
does chapter one say
he has to be my "Mr Right"
before I let him in the door?
am I selfish for wanting
what he has to offer?
am I cruel for wanting
it all?
Where do I find the rule book?
where do I go to ask?
I'm looking for a spark,
a flame
a fire
he's not it,
but he keeps me warm.
Do I have to let him go?
