A Man in a Million
Lyrics
Yeah, out there dating in my thriving mid-40sThe landscape’s wild, but it doesn’t allure meSporting weekends, their passions ignitingMe, I’m in heels where the city’s enticingYeah, Yeah
Mid-40s life, exploring the sceneSouth African men living their dreamCamping, hunting and hiking, they adoreBut my high heels click-clack. I need something more
Camping trips, not that’s not my laneHiking boots clash with my high-fashion styleThey seek the bush; I crave the skylineAdventurous souls, but they don’t align
I wasn’t searching in bars or gyms for the oneWhere’s that clean-shaven man who’ll truly alignDating apps, agencies which path to takeBe careful choose wisely, it’s high-stakes to make
They say the odds shrink with age, and it’s trueMost men chase younger it’s nothing newBut I stood my ground knew what I deservedHeld on to my worth, my confidence preserved
Not settling for less; my standards are fineWaiting for a partner who mirrored my mindA bond built on truth with passion to shareTwo souls aligned in a love that’s rare
I wanted a dreamer who wasn’t just talkLiving his purpose, not stuck in the walkAnd that’s the man who stepped into my laneTurning ambition into fuel for the flame
And then I found him, my South African manA dreamer with a spark our love beganThe man of my dreams, my perfect planOne in a million, my South African man
Little did we know we’d share so much fireA match made in heaven, a spark of desireLiving out our dreams together, no more need to roamThe search is complete; we’ve found our zone
In the future, we’d build something profound and trueA partnership of equals with a vibrant viewLiving together apart, a rare designFreedom and love perfectly intertwined
And then I found him, my South African manA dreamer with a spark our love beganThe man of my dreams, my perfect planOne in a million, my South African man
Story
At the beginning of this new chapter in my life, as I ventured into the world of dating in my mid-40s, I slowly realized how the strict criteria we set for meeting someone—whether about age, qualifications, or ticking all the right boxes—can sometimes prevent us from experiencing the delightful unpredictability of human connection.
I was new to this dating game, but I was learning fast—very fast.
