Yeah, but I'm really not bitter... I don't think...   At least I can laugh at some of the choices I've made. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts, my friend.  

I love your poem! Its tone is just right. And I definitely hope the guy you want crosses your path.

Thanks, Parker. So do I, but it won't ever happen because of Valentine's Day.  Cheers!

A little bit of both with some humor thrown in, my friend. Thanks for reading this.

Perhaps not because of the day itself. But maybe just by a perfect chance.

Much better than a gas station flower.   Thanks, bro! I like roses.

Good things come to those who wait. I hope you are right, my friend.  

If you imagine the qualities of the one you really want. They will show up when you’re not expecting it. That’s how I met my husband.

That's really nice to hear, my friend. I know exactly what I don't want, so I have had clarity for a while. Faith is hard, but we humans need it, and I am human.   Cheers, and thanks very much for sharing your thoughts with me.  

Hey Gary, You were right about getting a laugh from this.  It sounds like a summary of my love life for my first several decades.  Hang in there.  I didn't find my soulmate until I was 60 years old.

Hey, Terry. I'm glad you found the humor in this, and I was fortunate enough to find one too, but age and time and location conspired against us. Life is about getting up and moving forward and making the hard choices, and the truth I live with is... that it is better to have loved and lost... than never to have loved at all. Thanks, buddy.  

I just had to read this again.  I laughed my ass off with this stanza.

Quote

Don’t get me wrong, I love romance

And I’m a sucker for a good heart

But I want no man who drops his pants

In the back stall of a Quickie Mart

I hope you find your man with class.  I hope he doesn't give you a box of Cad-bury chocolates. 😄

Looking forward to new laments, but going on to Cozy Contemplations now.

Some laments can be amusing. If we ever lose the ability to laugh at ourselves, we are in trouble.   Thanks for reading this again, buddy.
