MALE OF THE SPECIES

I am male of the species.
I think I would be a good man to love
    . . . But a hard man to live with
I can be trusted
    . . . But I can't always be depended on
I will follow you to the ends of the
     Earth
    . . . But greatly cherish my time alone
I will not lie
    . . . Nor will I withhold the truth
I spend far too much time walking in
     the woods
    . . . And I don't regret it
I have built a fine house
    . . . But I struggle to make it a home
I have been known to revisit my past
    . . . But I will never move back there
I am faithful to a fault
    . . . But that is only the first of many
I suffer from A.D.D.
    . . . And attention deficit is a killer
               when it comes to relationships
I am willing to risk everything
     to experience love
    . . . Even if it kills me
               (at times, it has)
I have regrets in life
    . . . But I will not let them have me
I find that I have only enough time today
     to live for today.
    . . . I will not waste it on yesterdays
               or tomorrows
I am my own best friend
    . . . And my own worst enemy
And we will fight fiercely
    . . . To protect that relationship.
If there is one thing I've learned
     from my mistakes
    . . . It is to learn from my mistakes
I will share every moment
     of my life with you
    . . . But I will not let you
               take them from me.
I leave the toilet seat up!
    . . . I am male of the species
