I see the pattern with my own eyes
and
I’m very aware of what’s behind each disguise
what makes your sense of romance intriguing and nice
are the games that you play to keep me surprised
from the very beginning you weren’t who you are
relentlessly you followed me
and no path was too far
every single word that came out of my mouth
you quickly devoured like a lure to a trout
in your world of cold shoulder respect
you have to behave like others expect
so when I, a nomad, unwittingly entered your domain
you wanted much more
than to know just my name
through many a mask
and as many weeks went by
I chatted so much
I must have met a hundred guys
but
very few of them interested me
beyond a hello and goodbye
don’t get me wrong
I will tell you no lie
there have been several
I’ve enjoyed giving of my time
being new to the dating scene
yes
I was green
but
just like in the real world
we do what comes naturally
so
eventually I relaxed and let down my hair
it was finally then I had my only cyber affair
it was the most intense experience I’ve ever known
I wouldn’t change a thing
and like ET… I phoned home
telling my family about the new people I’d met
about the fun I was having
without leaving my desk
and they were happy
knowing I am finally free
and can experience my life
however it pleases me
I soon discovered though
that dating online isn’t enough
no matter how good words feel
we all still need real love
and a warm body to snuggle up
so
where does today bring you and me
bring us
after each and every online line has been crossed
and marked off
I’m still just as single
with nothing ventured
and nothing lost
and I’m pretty sure tomorrow will be like yesterday and today
I’ll write and I’ll post and I’ll talk the time away
but
most importantly I’ll keep uppermost in my mind
there’s no such thing as a man
who’s Mr. Right
so
whether on the internet
or
in my real life
if I meet a man who likes me
and I like him too
we’ll take it one step at a time
until we decide what to do

how does this sound to you

amen brother

Does this mean I am wasting my time waiting on Ms. Right???

Yes

But here is always her.

aahh.. dear oldhippie...

so you are waiting in line too..
well, I hear tell there's only
one Mr. and Ms. Right
so, we've all got to take a number
so it's a good thing we're waiting
on the opposite sex...
or you and me buddy...
we might just have to duke it out...
might makes Right, right?

Wonderful! It is soul food

Love

Never look so foreward to the destination that you don't enjoy the journey!

I am a sojourning soul as well, always looking forward to possibilities, seeking the joys of the journey, enjoying the many blessings, and learning from the many teachings along the way.

this is a good one, Jeff... Mrs. ALWAYS Right.. love it...

Thanks, plumangel, and welcome to the writer's forum..

thank you, zim...

Life is an experience to be savored, Soul, I'm with you on this one...

I agree with you. Mr or ms right is not for the real world. Folks keep cheasing after the shadow,believe me. Nice write!

and shadows change and disappear with each movement...

Love it!

Mr. Right does not exist, BUT Mr. Liar, Mr. Moody, Mr. Controlling, Mr. Conceited, and Mr. a$$hole do; all readily available @ your local bar

you're just too funny, and absolutely right, GMH2U... but these same types are at every church, at the public library, on every dating site, jeez, they are everywhere... there don't seem to be any good guys left... or some other lucky woman snatched them up already... or maybe the good guys think I'm just a player.. Whatever it is, I seemed to be aging faster everyday just from the stress all these players spread around via my inbox... damn, see there.. this started off funny, and now I've turned it into drama.. must be just another mood swing...
