Him and Her


Her: “I want someone who wants to be with me” Him: “That’s me” Her: “I want someone who needs me” Him: *raises hand* “Here” Her: “I want someone who thinks about me first thing in the morning and last thing before bedtime” Him: “Check and check” Her: “I want someone who will love my kids too” Him: “Yup” Her: “I want someone who can overlook my flaws” Him: “That’s easy” Her: “I want someone who will always make time for me” Him: “You bet. Every day” Her: "I want someone who will make me a priority" Him: "At or near the top always" Her: “I want to be married someday” Him: “Agreed” Her: “Why is it so hard to find someone like this?” Him: *bangs head on wall*

Maybe I Missed The Boat

A little over 20 years ago I was in a relationship that wasn't a great one but I settled for it anyway, because I thought perhaps it wouldn't get any better. "Maybe this is as good as it gets?", I thought to myself. I loved, surely -- but I wasn't entirely happy. Something was always missing, yet I stuck with it due to fear of being alone and because of a sense of duty and loyalty. Then we had kids -- the most wonderful gifts -- and despite being unhappy and unfulfilled I kept with it. Now that relationship has been officially over for three years now and I still haven't met anyone that makes my heart skip a beat. I've been on a grand total of three dates in that time, while she's on her, oh I don't know -- 10th boyfriend? I'm not keeping score, though, and I really don't mind.  It's her life, and her choices.  Good for her.  For me, however, it just amplifies my loneliness a bit.  It's like there is this incessant buzz...
