In His Shoes

A 21 year old girl, in quite a bit of debts, one of the main breadwinners of the family, would definitely most likely be hungering for some sort of financial stability. It has been 5 years since her dad past away. She longs for the comfort of his voice, the boundaries that he sets and the protection he secures the family with.

A 38 year old with all the financial stability one can have. A career that can give him an early retirement. He longs for someone to shower him with a little love and sincerity. He doesn't need anything material. All he wants is to know that no matter how busy he is, there's someone caring and thinking of him. Someone whom he doesn't have to take much care of as he is always too busy with his job. Someone he can trust when he's away. Someone responsible to take care of his heart.

I cherish alot of things in life. I've seen things that disappointed me fully. I don't have to see much to experience more. I just have to feel more and that's enough for me to understand. I feel him, but he's never there. What more could he look for? Then again, what more do i have? I understand his points of view. But i don't get why there isn't any action behind those words. To be in his shoes, i would definitely not jump into any relationships too soon. With that sort of financial stability, i wouldn't want the girl to fall for me because of my money. With so much work to do, i wouldn't want to traumatize the girl with so little time i have for her. With so many other responsibilities i have, i would like the girl to know how to take care of herself as well.

If this is the truth, it's beautiful and i'm ready for it. But if it isn't, again, it's one of the biggest disappointments in my life.
