~*~ She Said…He Said ~*~
by Mysteria

~*~She~*~

You used to whisper such beautiful
sweet nothings in my ear,
Now I hear you bellowing,
“Honey, hey bring me another beer!”

~*~He~*~

You used to rub my feet at night,
and then the back of my neck,
And now it seems your only purpose in life -
is to wake up and give me heck!

~*~She~*~

You used to bring me daisies;
I would put one in my hair,
Now if I wear a new dress,
Do you notice or even care?

~*~He~*~

Your skin was soft as velvet,
and you smelled like a fragrant rose.
Now your hair is always such mess,
and track pants are your only clothes.

~*~She~*~

You’d take me out for dinner
and to a movie like we were on a date,
I even got a kiss goodnight,
We’d stay up and make love ‘til it was late.

~*~He~*~

You'd iron my clothes for work,
and put little love notes in my lunch,
Now my clothes are on the floor,
Black and white socks mixed up in a bunch.

~*~She~*~

You used to come behind me
give me a kiss, when I was washing dishes;
You were my Prince Charming,
filling all my dream’s wishes.

~*~He~*~

Well you are still the most beautiful girl
in the world that is what I see in you,
We’ve both changed a lot; let's go away,
just us two - that’s what we should do.

~*~She~*~

You really mean it? Just the two of us
without the kids…like on a second honeymoon?
Sounds absolutely wonderful,
maybe we can plan to go away this June.

~*~He~*~

I think we should wait until September
when the salmon are on the run…
Honey, honest …the guys say that’s when
fishing is best, you’d have so much fun!

I know this was probably supposed to be a bit humoruous, but it hurt to read because it is a reality. Perhaps not to the exact situation or words you say here, but a reality for sure. I enjoyed this. It touched me somewhere.

Grins! I LOVE this! Such a true reflection of REALITY. Love takes work. You've done this wonderfully. *stands and cheers!*

After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all.

Hi! It is really hard in this stressful world we live in to get our priorities straight because we family, job, hobbies, etc. but if you don't have the love of your partner, you may as well be alone, and perhaps you already are?

Doreen: Glad you got a smile!

Temptress: This was my reality, and I know the pathos in this as I lived it and glad to say I am now very happily divorced, and he is still fishing! You were right (no cyber prize though!) it was tongue in cheek!

Just a Woman: *smiles* you are so right, wish more people would watch Dr. Phil on Oprah that guy really knows what he is talking about! Anything worth having is worth working for...glad you enjoyed it.

Marge: Trust you! *grins* - this works both ways actually - reverse the he with the she at the end and you got a different picture entirely. I know a trillion guys who strip the suit for boxers, and a beer *he he*

Sunshine: I sure do know her - she is "every woman" I think anyway...I actually heard the first lines from a nurse the other day, who said she almost killed her husband, who was sitting with boxers on, feet up, and his remote control, and he actually yelled at her to bring him a beer as he didn't want to miss hockey! Sheesh...I would have given him a beer alright, not!

Glad you got a smile, or it made you think to put some perfume on tonight,kiss your wife for no reason, or plan a dinner for two!

Mysteria,

This one made me laugh at first. Then it gets you to thinking how true it probably is for so many people. That is truly sad. This is priceless though!!
