A Meaningful Relationship... Poem by Catherine Hendry

ALL she has ever wanted, was for a man to feel about her the way she felt about him, but, AT THE SAME TIME! ! Why does it have to be so freakin’ complicated? She doesn’t want ANYTHING MORE than what she gives …
she doesn’t need money, shelter, food … ALL she asks for is respect, admiration, honesty (honesty cubed) and she craves the challenge of intellectual conversation.
Alas, these things have seemed to elude her … she doesn’t understand …
is she asking for TOO much? The whole concept makes men jittery and stuff! she simply WANTS a MAN who is articulate, deep, confident and most of all, one who will LOVE her —- love her outright without stipulations! ! she has never married and never had kids, (she’s always PREFERED dogs?) …
At 44yrs., she doesn’t drink, after 32 years, she no longer smokes, she doesn’t do drugs, she’s been celibate for 10 YRS. (NOT a ”casual sex” person) … someone please tell her what it is, if you see what she’s doing wrong! ! she has even found herself going out of her “comfort zone” and doing what “he” wanted, even if she wasn’t into it.
And she is NOT the type of person that does that!
