Ready for what's real

“Ready for What’s Real”

by Robert Ramage

Intro

Forty-one years of promises kept,

Lessons learned, no regrets,

Still standing, still believing,

In love that hasn’t found me yet.

---

Verse 1

I stayed when staying mattered most,

Built a life, raised a name,

Gave my heart to the best I knew,

Played the long and honest game.

Time changes people, seasons fade,

Some hearts drift, some remain,

Now I’m walking a quieter road,

Looking for peace, not pain.

---

Verse 2

I’m a Pisces with a steady soul,

I feel deep, but I stand strong,

I’ve learned what love should never be,

And what it takes to carry on.

I don’t chase noise or empty nights,

I don’t need a crowd to feel alive,

Just one woman who knows her heart,

And wants something real this time.

---

Chorus

I’m ready for what’s real,

For a love that’s honest and kind,

No games, no jealousy,

Just two hearts walking side by side.

I believe in truth and touch,

In faith that still believes,

I’m not here to relive the past,

I’m here for what love can be.

---

Verse 3

I value peace inside a home,

Soft laughter, late-night talks,

A hand to hold when the world feels heavy,

Bare feet on honest walks.

I listen more than I ever speak,

I show up when it counts,

I’m loyal to the core of me,

That’s what this love’s about.

---

Verse 4

I’m not trying to be twenty-five,

I’m not running from who I was,

I’m proud of every scar I earned,

Every promise kept in love.

I’ve still got warmth, still got fire,

Still believe in intimacy,

Built on trust and emotional safety,

Under God, just you and me.

---

Bridge

I won’t hide, I won’t pretend,

I won’t lead a heart astray,

If you’re ready for a new beginning,

I won’t waste your time or faith.

We don’t have to rush the truth,

We just have to let it start,

With honesty as our foundation,

And courage in the heart.

---

Final Chorus

I’m ready for what’s real,

For a woman warm and true,

Emotionally open, grounded in faith,

Looking for more than something new.

If you believe love can still be gentle,

Still passionate, still free,

Then maybe what you’re searching for,

Has been quietly looking like me.

---

Outro

So here I stand, no mask, no fear,

Just a man with a steady heart,

I’m not late, I’m not broken,

I’m just ready…

Ready for a brand-new start.
