Too good to be true

Am I too good to be true?
I can't be, I'm far from perfect, and I make countless mistakes
but my mistakes weren't the reason she took her love away
She said I was too special, that she didn't deserve a guy like me
But I'd have know being a good man was gonna cause me heart ache
then I might as well have been no good if it woulda made her stay.
But she couldn't bring herself to trust me, her past she wouldn't let go
she thought I had a hidden agenda that didn't exist
She couldn't trust my words and my actions, why I was so good to her
It didn't make any sense, that a man would treat her so well and have her in bliss
She never had a good man in her life, not even her father gave her love as good as this
but she was making me pay for the mistakes of the men in her past at first
but I fought back with tough love, and she was so confused
she hated that she began to love me, and I made her feel so good til it hurt.
Maybe that's where I failed, maybe I am too good to be true
But I don't wanna be no good either, so what's a gentleman to do?
All I wanted from her was love, companionship, quality time, affection, conversation, respect, honesty and trust.
Maybe I DID want too much
Or maybe she wasn't ready for her and I to become "US".
But why is it that she complained about not having a good man, a gentle man, a REAL man
when she finally got me she didn't know how to treat me, and accept how well I treated her?
And it's women like that, that make it hard for a good man to exist and feel good about it
she was so used to the niggas in her life not treatin her right, and neglecting her
that she made it hard for me and her to be truly happy together and make it forever
But yea whatever yo, it's de year of the gentleman,
ladies tell ya friends to get with de program,
and get wit a man that respects women and appreciates them
and stop gettin wit men that call'em bitches instead of mam
So niggas, we may gents may be small in number but the threat is monumental
either step up and come correct or step aside for the best
It's de year of the gentleman and we're not too good to be true
Ladies take the chance on us, cause we most definately know how to treat you.

    aww...this poem just bleeds and cries out so much! The story line so dramatic and sad-and very well written!
    Hah, I actually have issues myself- I am most of the time depressed and I keep telling my bf that he is just treats me too well and willingly puts up with me! One of your line reminded me of that.

    I am sorry for the breakup that you are going through, I do wish only best for in your future!
