One day at a time, taking chances

Today was one of those days when you feel like doing nothing.
No matter how amazing the sun might be shining ,
no matter the music the chimes might be playing ,
no matter how fresh the food in the fridge be .
Yeah , that one
Drowning away in the depth of laziness , my half beating lungs gave up its need for nicotine that afternoon.
I choked upon a thought that had slipped my mind for God knows why , you're waiting for me for lunch .
Now as the legend says , boys get ready in no time . But , it perhaps be better relayed if it said boys who are late on a date with their long lost love.
You bathe, you trim, you cut your fingernails out.
You choose an outfit that's rather subtle than loud .
And oh when it comes her be , you take a lot of time to think it out !
It's only fair ,
since you've spent on years for her in despair.
But it's all cool now,
you're mature and you've made amends !
Tbh , bind dates are a thing of the past. I've met girls, a rather beautiful lot.
Tried to find something that I've went years on expecting from someone who's not .
I left never amazed , never in love ,
never gazed .
Well , now you know how it must have felt ! To be trapped in now when all you want is left in back then.
Tried and tested
I put together a casual look well vested .
Tucked in soft and roomy underwear ,
I left the room in hurry and running footwear.
"Sorry I didn't make you wait long , or did I ?"
"You've changed a lot boy ! " She replied !
Heckled , I felt but I smirked and suggested if we might get seated . She smiled back and off with it we went.
Talking over pints of bear and chips we started,
soon it was evening,
time ran faster than ever cause I guess we had been drinking .
horrified thinking it'd hurt by all means I went it ,
it was now all over and had been a long time only if had a chance to vent in .
Amidst the lot we kept on repeating , I checked my phone it's been long that it was beeping .
It was the girl I'd met the other day , she's cute and funny and great in many ways .
'Clicked' my tongue I left her at the table , it's call from the boss I said and to drop it I'm unable
Since then it's been a life of taking chances, experts though said to think a lot before making advances.
I know I know , it's getting a little too much .
Hell, I thought I'd rhyme today no matter how it come out .
