He's nice to look at
And nice to touch.
He's not hers yet
Doesn't want him so much.
Being alone isn't nearly so bad
As being with someone
Someone else already had.
Taking on troubles
Which never were hers
Isn't something she wants
Being alone isn't worse.
And knowing she could
Have him if she wanted
That just feels good.
Days go by and nights go, too
She works, she dates
She thinks, she lives.
But mostly she waits.
She'll find him one day
When she turns around
He'll find her and stay.
It's always that way.
Interesting poem. I like it! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's so many women I know. They are okay being alone, but if "he" comes along, that would be cool.
DeleteThanks for sharing KAT. ♥
I like this poem! I can relate because there is this guy I really like (and have for some time) and he's married. So like your poem, I don't pay him too much attention to avoid trouble...but still. Anyways, like your poem, I'm waiting for just that right guy. :)
ReplyDeleteI suspect he'll find you. ♥
DeleteIt's crazy isn't it the way things work. I'm a nice guy, not bad looking, in good shape, no criminal record, I'm a good dad, I have skills, I've read a few books and written some as well. When I am with a woman I am loyal, loving and attentive, I cook and clean, I don't gamble, drink or run around. Yet I can barely get a date and when I do I feel like I'm in an interview, it always seems to come down the stuff in life, not the stuff OF life that is important. I really don't even try anymore, I've accepted being alone and am okay with that.
ReplyDeleteI know a few guys like what you describe Tim and I know a lot of women who are just okay being alone. They want perfection (for them) or no one. Sometimes I think it's better to be alone in this life and just have a ton of friends and maybe a few special friends you can take to or invite over for dinner now and them. Or to hang out on the back porch on a warm summer evening. The whole gotta have a mate thing is over-rated, if you ask me.
DeleteI've been alone and I've been in a good solid marriage and both are good for their own reasons. I've also been in a rocky marriage and that sucks.
Thanks for reading and thanks for sharing.
I imagine the girl who is looking for you is waiting for you to find her. ♥
Thanks Jo I'll have to trip over her at this point.
DeleteI'm sure it is that way for many. Nice poem, Jo!
ReplyDeleteI think so. ♥
DeleteThank you for always taking time to say you were here. I love that.
Jo, that's so lovely and so often true. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It is, often. ♥
DeleteGreat poem! If I hadn't found my husband I was more than ready to face life alone. I paid 500.00 in a last ditch effort to a dating service to find a man. They sent me a lot of duds, but then my Mr. Right came calling and he is still around today! :D

So, was Mr. Right in the pile of dud? Or did he come by on his own?
DeleteThank you, btw. ♥
Great poem! x
ReplyDeleteI like the word GREAT...:)
DeleteThank you so much.
That's the way I feel. Comfortable being alone and can do so without feeling lonely. If I find him or he finds me, then great! If not, that's still great!
ReplyDeleteI do not think you are alone. It's a good and healthy way to live and I'm happy you are in that group. :)
Delete♥
Interesting...I wish more women would get comfortable with being alone. Strangely, it's when they do that, that Mr Right comes along!
ReplyDeleteI have said that for years. I met Roomy when I had decided that I was doing just fine alone. Financially, my bills were paid, I had time for my kids, I liked my job and life was good for me. Then along came the Roomy and voila!
DeleteWhat a sweet poem-- I would say-- it is better to hold out for Mr. Right than to settle for second best. I think. Heck--I found Mr. Right-- and never looked back!!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Jenn

So how did I miss this little treasure? ... nicely done. Perhaps one day... ;-)
ReplyDeletePerhaps! I know I found mine when I had decided being single was for me. I was good. He came along and we agreed it would stay casual because neither of us wanted anything to do with marriage.
DeleteOops. ♥
