Luther Vandross - Don't Want To Be A Fool

That line rung true for me when i had to let go of my ex. We didn't want the same things; she was in it for something totally different. I realized that I couldn't be in something one-sided anymore and I couldn't love nobody walking on a one-way street. Now, I'm doing better with somebody that's walking on a two-way street with me and my life has been a lot better since I let her go.

Daniel Delaney I know what 'Love' feels like but the challenging part is finding a partner that's 'Suitable', if you just accept anything you'll be cruising for a bruising!!! Plus I don't want NO READY MADE FAMILY...I'm going to start MY OWN LEGACY...all this mixing and matching and don't know what's happening is bullshit, and I'm not putting up with it. If you can't find someone 'decent' then it's best to be alone until you come across someone that has got it together, although some folks rather have a companion and get dragged just for the sake of having a companion...not me...not now...not ever.
