He had never been single for more than two weeks over here
as long as he was looking, someone would be there
however, these women, as with most in his life
found him.

who he looked for, wanted, was always beyond his reach
for one reason or another, unknown perhaps
destiny perhaps
because his future was not of his own making, or choice

most likely.

free will... HAH!
and how does the line from the song go?

"We make our plans, and God laughs..."

He had said and seen
thought and frought
these famous words...

"These women 1, 2, 3,
I feel like I've been...
am being
trained for someone...
or some-thing."

and so here we go
less than a week
little rest for the meek
and so the tryouts begin

1
2
3

Number 1, is under the gun,
tomorrow, the funny brunette
1,2,3 days of email and she says,
"having children with you...
it will be fun"

Number 2, he wished he knew
beautiful eyes
turquoise, changeling
what a surprise

this one is new,
but very young
doubtful chances, he wished he knew

those eyes, those eyes
there is sadness in them
her photos look like...
she is ready to cry

spiritual, he cares
a bit strange?
over here?
more common than rare

but, oh, the competition
and then there is her seemingly said melancholy
and a lack of ambition

So 3. Enough for now
in 2 months, Enough for me
ah yes, the blondiny
not in Prague, but in Sydney

She says, "I'm worth the wait!"
We shall see...
but he still loves another
and thus, begin...

the tryouts,
and a twist of fate.

You're right John, and your timing couldn't be more perfect. The funny thing about fate is though, the twists are usually predictable, we just never know when or exactly what it is that will happen. :-) Thanks for the reply...
