Please let me explain first and foremost that this is not a “sad” blog nor do I want pity to touch anyone’s heart here. I am just trying to figure things out for myself. I have been learning about self love. I have taught this to my daughter and hopefully she gets the concept after 17 years and I am starting to grasp it through my own life’s experience. I do love me. I realized that so much when I was ill and thought I was leaving this life. I wasn’t ready and grieved my own loss of me. But that was then and I am ready to start my testing in two weeks (ugh…well if not ready I can say that I will do it anyway) but to get back to my blog. As a child I had no father daughter relationship with my dad, enough said. Over my younger years I never lacked for male attention in a physical way. I was never romanced but I was physically satisfied at any rate to put this in mild wording. I married someone that I had known more than half of my life and it was sort of what might be called a “back up” marriage on both parts but I am not here to get into that much detail for this part either. I will simply add that we never shared a romance. We had a physical relationship back then but that was eight years ago that stopped after cancer. We shared fiances but not security of love. I tried and I honestly thought things might change but my Peter Pan side grew up and accepted things. So…I think of the one man I fell madly in love with that I speak of, not my husband. I fell in love with the attention, the smiles, the ear the eyes and the feelings of being needed and enjoyed. Did he me, he says no. He would say we had a friendship I over exaggerated in my mind. Maybe he is some what right but not all right and there are three sides to everything, one for each party involved and then the real truth with no perception allowed. But that isn’t what this is about. He told me so many times he loved me. It was strictly a “sisterly friend” situation. No physical relationship in the many years I knew him though since I had none with my husband I wanted this desperately and he knew this too and he played me because of this and I totally allowed the dice to keep falling and the game to keep flowing. Yet, in retrospect I don’t think I am dreaming it because the fog has long since settled and he will say that he said it that way but his eyes and his breath on my ear and his hands around my body huging me told me differently and I had quite a bit experience to realize when someone was attracted to me physically if not in love with me. So that was someone that said they loved me and even allowed it with tears in his eyes sometimes and what was he truly besides a great actor? As much as this hurts me to admit to myself, I know deep within myself that he was a user…no one wants that from someone…to be used…even if they believe they do on the surface of things consciously, when you learn of self love it will show you differently, consciously and subconscioulsy. This weekend I saw at a party an old lover of mine. Someone I had a very physical relationship with but never said he loved me and never shared a sense of security with me. We were young, horny and that is what I thought mattered back then. He married and had three children and two years ago he lost his youngest child and his family is having an awful time healing. For a millisecond of a breath I wouldn’t want to be any of them. That is a loss no one should ever have to endure. Back to the blog, he was polite and respectful all through the party and so was I. Upon leaving he leaned over, kissed my hair on the side and whispered very softly in my ear. “I love you, I always will”…I felt a bit elated at first but then I didn’t once I thought on it. That’s it…words again…he is dying in a liquor bottle over the loss of his son and while he should have been whispering that to the one he married or shouting it on the roof tops especially now that she needs this…he says it to me…and it meant nothing from him. Neither one of the two men that said this to me loved me enough to share with me. The one man that admitted he didn’t love me “like that” married me and shared a sense of different sorts. We have a wonderful daughter and he is the best dad anyone could have. He is a hard worker and holds three jobs but I think it is to get away from me. Is this all I have allowed myself to receive? Did I have such a low self image and self esteem that I allowed myself to never be loved? Or, is it that it is impossible for anyone to share that head over heals, romantic love with me? They say everyone has a soul mate and I never believed that to be true. Maybe I am my own soul mate I am not sure. I am not sad about it anymore, well sure sometimes I wipe a tear or two, but I know that dwelling on the past only pulls toward me the likeness of what I allowed in the past. The universe has a way of doing that…so I think…I am loved (by God, my daughter and myself) I am secure, I am healthy and I am…) so for now that is that…but flowers would be nice…maybe daisies…and my sweetest dream has always been to be doing something as simple as the dishes and have my lover come up behind me and hold me close and whisper in my ear…I love you…and MEAN it…so much for fantasies…lol…huggs…Sassy…
