Looking For That Man!

Wanting to have someone in life to love me for who I am, and not what he can get from me. Showing a genuine love and caring throughout our lives together. Never being unmindful, telling me endlessly how much he loves and wants to be with me forever. A man who doesn't think only of himself, not vain, thinking of others, having compassion and under- standing. Listening with his heart, responding from it also, is that too much to ask of a man, I don't think so. Yet, I haven't found a man who doesn't hide behind his ego, telling everyone how great he is. Laughing as I write this, because I've seen this time after time in the men I meet. Even when single, it always happened, on first dates being asked to marry each of them, thinking they were God's gift to women. Having no substance other than their egos shining so brightly, the only answer ever given to each of them was no. Older now, still looking for that man who has been suffering all these years like I have, yet knowing that it is too late in life for wishes.
