The other guys

I'll never wonder,but I find myself in question.
How many other's are there?
And if I'm in competition...

I know there's that one guy, he writes you poetry and you gasp at it's power.
Then's there's that other guy, he still sends you flowers...

Why question it though? I'm the one you bed down with at night.
I'll never be jealous, but I will stand up and fight.

Is the measure of man something you gauge with your eyes?
Or is it just known, and you feel it inside.
Insecurity's a bitch, that can be said.
I'll use the fear, never let it out of my head.
Maybe I'm racing all those other tomcats.
Or maybe I'm just paranoid everytime you get upset.

DOOD.
This is EXACTLY how I feel sometimes.
Very nice.
I love the... kind of pensiveness of this piece.
Very good.

This is a complex issue.
'never wonder... but in question' - very diplomatic way of broaching the subject. Weighing up the fear of asking and the peace of not knowing.
A great write.. terrific insight into the human spirit. Thanks for sharing.
