Twenty one things that I want in a lover. - Alanis Morissette

Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
Do you have a big intellectual capacity, but know that it alone does not equate wisdom?
Do you see everything as an illusion, but enjoy it even though you are not of it?
Are you both masculine and feminine?
Politically aware?
And don't believe in capital punishment?

Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that loving someone can actually feel like freedom?
Are you funny?
à la self-deprecating?
Like adventure?
And have many formed opinions?

Are you uninhibited in bed?
More than three times a week?
Up for being experimental?
Are you athletic?
Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother?
Are you not addicted?
Are you curious and communicative?

These are twenty one things I want in a lover.
Not necessarily needs, but qualities that I prefer.
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter.
These are twenty one things I choose to choose in a lover.
