Lucky Ones

Some women can bounce from man to man, They've got that pretty face and smooth skin, But a lot of us have never been so lucky. Never had the options to choose. And just because we hold moral and ethical values, Because we care about God, ourselves, and our reputation, We cannot jump around like that, have never been able, So we sit alone for a long, long time. Perhaps we are wrong, but we are also true to ourselves. Things are not always what they seem to be. Why can't you see that everyone faces big challenges, Every single person. Mine is being alone, doing it myself, But...I am scared to death of being homeless. I know what's out there, I know what they do. I try to get by, make meager ends meet, pay my bills, But let me remind you, there is nothing,(no one) in my life For which I would practice being indiscreet. Besides, I am not a beautiful woman, not a lucky one, And not one single man has been interested in me Since you. No, not one. I am not one of the lucky ones.

Hello Catie Lindsey, I met my husband late in life. I consider myself to be pretty. I do not know the reason my husband cheated on me in the 4th year of marriage, but he did. he is dead now 5 years.He told me not to remarry. i was his 3rd wife. Why he said tha I will never know.One day i will meet someone and it is up to me to marry or not. he had no right to say these words to me. I am haunted by these words. Enjoy your evening my fiend.
