A woman hopes to
fall in love,
with someone who
loves her too.
He would be so good
to her,
and treat her like a
queen.
He would show that
she matters,
by paying attention
to her every word.
Focusing on her,
instead of always
being distracted,
not listening to her.
He would touch her
the most,
by talking to her,
teasing her,
not even a physical
moment,
just saying what
they felt.
Oh life would be so
good,
romantic and fun,
not just about
sex at all, but love
and caring.
Then one day she
comes to her senses,
that is not how it
is in the real world.
At first love is
new, all about us,
soon it starts to
take a backseat to
a lot of other
things, and the glow is
glimmering, but not
as brightly.
it still feels it
may be there somewhere,
but the sweet
romantic notes and calls,
stop being so much
and so many.
He stops remembering
the cute little name,
he called you in the
beginning.
Now, chooses a
television show,
over a night of
making love with you.
What happened and
where did that time go?
It was special and
now it is gone,
to be consumed by
the relationship status again.
A new relationship
that seemed so special, exciting
in the beginning,
goes through the romantic period,
and now is gone.
Gone forever and never to be found again.
The reason why so
many women leave and look for new,
to get back that
glow in the newness stage,
because it never
lasts forever does it?
Or can it? Maybe the
right man, the right thoughts,
if only it could
last, just think how wonderful
your life could be,
being with someone who would value you.
Just for you, who would whisper those sweet words
you long to hear, while showing you his love is true.
Left alone with my
hopes and dreams once again,
of a better time or
a better man.
Of someone to
whisper those terms of endearments,
that make my heart
flutter and my mind stand still.
Of spending time
with love, fun and joy.
Does that really
exist? Or is it just in romantic novels”
Do real people all
grown up, not a puppy love teen,
experience this love
in their life?
It never gets old or
boring or leads to
sadness, heartbreak
or unfaithfulness?
The pain of hurt is
what makes me afraid,
afraid to totally
trust once again.
Afraid to share my
secret thoughts,
my whole self with
another.
Such an invasion it
is when you
discover it is not
true.
It is a hurt so deep
that it takes forever
to recover from
those bloodless wounds.
But recover you do
and swear to yourself,
“Never again.” Then you do.
Take that chance.......one
more time!
