In Hindsight A Poem
|
In Hindsight A Poem I wanted him to be Someone he wasn't. I wanted him to care About something He couldn't. I wanted him to feel About something He couldn't fathom. Now I see him clearly He is not who I Wanted him to be. Hindsight is 20/20. I thought he had Depth in his DNA Call me crazy For thinking him Like his brethren He could let go And live far away He made a life Whereas others stayed. That should have been My first clue. He could cut the ties That bound lesser men. But were they really inferior? Perhaps just in one area. They catered to nostalgia He snipped that cord No umbilical tether To his first home Or even his second. And so on and so on. He went forth. Oceans and continents They were to be explored And navigated. He was not bound To any one land. Fuck rolling stones! Fuck those who gathered No moss! I know. I know It might be the healthier choice But I am lost! I am lost along the way As he found nothing About me that could hold sway. He was not the man Who revered the things I did. The past was barely mentioned. Anecdotes with no nostalgic sadness Just things that happened About which he never cried. Showing he barely cared. He was strong And he was a stoic I could blink And he could be gone. For he would never stay long. He was the veritable rolling stone. In human form. Truth be told He is not rootless His are just shallow. People certainly had little hold. They were there if they were He slept well He needed no insomnia cure. Love was not a question He asked himself. That required feelings He could not espouse. If I had this information Before I became invested If I had foresight Instead of hindsight I could have saved myself The agony of a broken heart. Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely |

Two lessons here, one, dont go into a relationship planning to change your future lover, they will only change IF they want to, and the more you push them to change, the further they will back away. 2nd, not everyone gets into a relationship for the same reasons. Sadly, I had such with a gal years ago, we had a lotta funn, but she wanted a husband, or at least a life companion, and I did too, but she wasnt the one and I knew this from the begining. I never promised anthing beyond funn, but the longer we had funn, the more she wanted more, which I couldnt give. In the end, I did find that woman I chose for my 3rd wife. When I told this gal, it broke her heart, and it was only then I realized how she felt about me fully. I regret I hurt her, but my blindness to her feelings was never intentional.

Hi yesmamallthetime. thanks for sharing this one... sometimes... we only see what we want to see... sometimes... we attract those we never wanted... maybe... we need to change our filters... maybe... we need to change our patterns... body language is more than 60 percent of communication... made me think of this... "Did she want me to change Well I change for good..." Coldplay - "Shiver" So I look in your direction But you pay me no attention, do you I know you don't listen to me 'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you And on and on from the moment I wake To the moment I sleep I'll be there by your side Just you try and stop me I'll be waiting in line Just to see if you can Did she want me to change Well I change for good And I want you to know But you always get your way I wanted to say Don't you shiver, shiver, shiver I'll always be waiting for you So you know how much I need you But you never even see me, do you And is this is my final chance of getting you And on and on from the moment I wake To the moment I sleep I'll be there by your side Just you try and stop me I'll be waiting in line Just to see if you care Oh, oh, oh, oh Did… To leave private messages, please use my confidential mailbox at my blog: Good luck!!!

When we really like someone it is easy to overlook the warning signs that they are not looking for the same things as us.Love is blind and all that eh!
