Gone Again

Alright ladies, I think it’s time we set the record straight.  As rough and tough as men pretend to be most of the time, there is a side that often times, is not seen by the fairer sex.  Now I’ll admit that more often than not men will disappear on women, but every so often us brutes find ourselves alone.  Day after day, night after night we spend quality time with someone who means the most to us and then, without warning, there is a sudden “attack of conscious” and we are left alone.  There is no rhyme or reason usually, just a need to be alone.

So what happens now?  We are told to swallow our pride and forget that whatever had happened before whether it was serious or not and continue on with my life.  Whats worse is that our daily/weekly activities that perhaps we had with that person are now things that I should pretend are no longer mine.  A feeling of emptiness comes over me every time I step foot into a restaurant that I had eaten at or a song we had listened to or when they wrote about how they I made a new city feel like home.  There is a reason that people share interests, moments, and time together.  We find people that we understand and can communicate with in an intelligent manner.  I enjoy an intelligent conversation and that can handle how much of a nerd I can be while still being able to appreciate all the little things I love about her.

I will never understand the female mind and all it’s needs and wants, but I think that’s what I actually love most.  Most of my life I have pursued things I haven’t fully understood to understand them more completely.  Each step time I have given myself a bigger challenge.  What is it ladies?  What is it with the volatile nature of the female mind?

This is the first question of many.
