Of Men & Love

I hope you find him some day. The man that will recognize you for who and what you are. The man that will look into your eyes and see what I see; a gentle and beautiful soul. One that loves, one that cares, one that is loyal to the very end.

I wish I could explain to you why other lesser women have managed to find undeservedly better men, while you watch as chance after chance pass you by and age catches up. Most days I'm inclined to whack one of my fellow man in the face with a metal pan. They chase young and pretty looking things that wither with time. Are they really so blind to not see the timeless beauties that are right before them?

But do not mourn the loss of men who never saw your true worth in the first place, dear friend. Though your heart aches for the miss opportunities, the wonderful what-if's, know that in truth, it is they who have lost, though they know it not. In your heart, you feel that a good thing has passed you by. You blame yourself for not seizing what was right within your grasp. But what you desired to grasp might well have been nothing more than illusions of perfection. The perfect man for you would have been the one that was good enough to make you actually reach out to him, but better still, good enough that you didn't need to.

Forget them. Forget him. I thought of telling you there are plenty of other men out there. But that would somehow imply that you NEED a man before you can be happy.

I think that you should just focus on being all that you can be in this life, keep your heart of gold, continue to hope, trust and love...... and somewhere, somehow along the way on this rocky road called life..... love will find you. Maybe not in the form of a man, but surely in the form of something that will remind you that life is beautiful, and worth living, and that love, in whatever form that is, always comes to those who have it in their own hearts.

My thoughts to you...
