Between You And What I Would Prefer

Whatever success you believe you have acquired,
Obtained and have?
I am glad for you.
Really...
I am.

However...
Do not ever perceive what you believe,
Adds to your attraction...
Suits me.
It may do that for others.
But it does nothing to excite my appetite.
I am not motivate by traps like that.

You see...
Having something that is real I can feel,
Means more to me...
Than your ability to socialize pretentions.

Maybe others choose to snuggle up,
To whatever it is that you may give.
But if given the choice,
Between you and what I would prefer?
I'd take a cold beer.
Without question!
