Love Ain't all its Cracked up to Be

Not always do we see eye to eye, but mostly, except in this particular situation...

Love, Ain’t all its Cracked up to Be…


 


Made plans with my soul mate, so much fun,


Weeks ago, she agreed, looking forward she was,


As was I, I should’ve known, though,


Cancelled she did, just tonight, three days prior,


I just wonder if I am not in love with, a liar?


 


I realize it isn’t all that bad,


Things come up, family problems, and all that,


The problem herein is just that I made the plans,


And now she tells me her new horse is having problems,


I am sorry, but I feel rejected here, I am only human,


Perhaps if I were a horse, I could get some positive attention.


 


Well, we won’t be talking for a bit,


Let her chew, herein, for a while on her horses bit,


We are of course, as far as I am concerned, still together,


This by no means ends a wonderful, loving relationship,


But she needs to learn a lesson here,


I can’t be taken for granted, anymore.


 


So, Rene, if you’re reading this, please understand,


I am over being told one thing and changing it in the end,


If not interested you are, in the beginning, tell me,


I am sure I can find someone else to do things with me,


I may still do so this weekend; hope you have fun with your horse,


And I hope it is okay and not sick, as I am,


Emotionally sick and tired, only a matter of course…

Well....relationships are difficult..its push and pull..
it takes a lot of energy to work things out and compromise..
But most of the time it is worth it...I kind of like what
Tinka said....if Rufuz was sick....I know how much you love
Rufuz...well....Ed..I am so sure you will cool off and work
this out...there will be a lot of weekends to do things...

Love Tinka
