No Excuses

Something I said or did not say? Something I did or did not do? Don't get the painful game you play I want to remain friends with you So sorry...didn't mean to offend Thought we were giggling and poking fun How can I ever make amends? When I don't know the CRIME I have done Not one single peep THAT'S for sure Since that night we talked on the phone At least break this silence of yours Say "Go to hell" or "Leave me alone" Don't just toss off a foolish old man With a flip of your hand with no frets We are here for such a short span I won't waste it, yet still "All regrets"

There is nothing more frustrating or hurtful, than to be shut out...and not know why! Women ....yes...we can be difficult and often expect a man to "read our minds"!! (Oh oh...did I just admit to that??!!)

Some of us turn inward and become silent when we are hurt. Maybe you could send her a single rose and just tell her you miss her company. I know that would work for me! Hope it all works out for you, Tim. I've enjoyed reading your work today. Your writing is very direct and definitely sparks an emotional response. Nicely written! Love, Carolyn

Interesting take on a disagreement between two people probably of the opposite sex. You'll probably never get it and she won't get you. Men are from Mars and women from Venus. Sara
