Being Told

"Hang on there, cutie."
"Here's my number.  Call me."
"Let's hang out tonight,
See a movie, something light."

"We ought to get a bite to eat."
"Meet me at eight.  Tonight's my treat."
"The roads are awful.  You could stay."
"I need a ride to work today."

"I want to drive the open road."
"We should start saving for a home."
"My head is hurting.  Leave me be."
"Please, my true love, marry me."

All of life's being told what to do;
Relationships start when you want someone to.
