Time To Step Up
It’s true, one and one makes two.
All, except for me and you.
For us, it is plain to see.
One and one is gonna make three.
It was a ‘home run’ one night.
A single date that ended right.
That was it till you began to show.
Now, it seems, everyone will know.
This may not work out right.
I am praying that it might.
If it doesn’t, there will be new math.
One and one will equal two and a half.
I am ready to be a father.
My feelings are more than water.
We didn’t end on a sour note.
I didn’t say “That’s all she wrote.”
We just never connected again.
No, I’m not like other men.
I am responsible for my actions.
Sorry if I cause the wrong reaction.
Let’s get together and start all over.
Soon, we will be rolling in clover.
I am ready to make the commitment.
We both have all the equipment.
Let’s put it together and make a family.
Show everyone just how it can be.
We don’t have to, but we want to.
Only the best for me and you.
