Thinking Kinky : The Nappy Haired Diva

I have to admit that with age, each man that I have met has been more impressive than the one before him. I have met a few good men within the past year or so and I would remiss if I didn't grab a pair of knee pads and thank God a few times. I wonder what about me changed that caused me to experience a change in the men that I met. I know that I have gotten older and the poor relationship that I was committed to began when I was much younger. In fact, I think that it taught me a lot about what I didnt want to endure in a relationship. So here I am today... single. One may ask why that is. A few sentences ago, I mentioned meeting a few good men. So why is it that I am not with any of them? Well, the answer is simple. Good doesn't necessarily mean good for me . The first step to dating with purpose (and I say this because many people date aimlessly and aren't looking for anything in particular) is to know what you want. You need to know what it is that you want from a man...

You took me up and loved me strong You made me feel like I could do no wrong Like I could never be ugly or there was nothing I can say that would make you take your love away You touched me tenderly You held me tight You loved me gently through the night Whenever I thought I couldnt You would tell me I can You claimed me and named me your woman and you were my first Good Man. From your first "I love you" To your loving kiss Your hugs Your smiles were the greatest gifts and while we wanted to take off our wings were to weak to lift the weight of our burdens that we had no place to shift Now and again I say "Only if..." But I know we can't grow so I must forget it. things weren't perfect but our time was treasured You taught me a lot I will love you forever. Thank you Good Man.
