Why I'm Still Single

I won't slow down.

I'm not afraid of the monster's I've shot down with my arrows;

Their eyes and their words and their wayward hands have no power over me.

Run as fast as you can, and we'll see if you can keep up.

I've seen other girls fall for apples, even golden ones,

But don't expect me to stray for a piece of forbidden fruit.

I've been shot down, I've been rejected,

But I'm not going to stop to fall down and cry.

I've wrestled with ideas and forces people prefer not to think about.

I'm not opposed to romance, or marriage

I'm just opposed to men who can't run fast enough win the race.

Any guy is welcome to try, though he might lose his head in the process.

Not just any guy can win, only those who can keep up, and beat me to the finish line.

So if you love me, try and keep up.

If I like you, I might just give you a head start.

If I don't like you, I'll put on armor even if it slows me down a little.

Either way, I'll probably still win.
