Would you rather?

My friend, a woman, believes in me
She believes in me, she believes in love, and she believes in herself
And she believes that believing in herself is believing in love
And I believe that too.

But we refuse to believe that love is a game of
would-you-rather
and not a game of reciprocating passion
but a process of elimination

Well, he is A but not B
Well he is all the A and B I want,
But wait don't all guys have a C?
Why doesn't he?
All I wanted was A. And B. Apparently also C.
It's supposed to come naturally!
I mean that's a standard I hold, even for me.

And I'm not even mad anymore. I'm just disappointed. Profoundly.
