No understanding
After he left I went back to bed but I couldn't go back to sleep. I flipped about a good five times ending up sitting on the side of my bed. Now I have never let a man keep me from sleeping cause I don't care what nobody say sleeping is my favorite thing to do. The thought of this man stays with me like he part of my thought pattern. Not dirty thoughts, but I want to know why out of the blue we're instant friends. Look I have been asking the Lord for a friend is he the friend I been asking for.
I live out of the way and noone comes here unless it's family or they're lost. I went and got me some coffee, coffee know it taste good. I didn't even drink coffee until my husband got sick and had to go in the hospital. I started drinking his coffee on my visit everyday in the the hospital now I love it.
What's wrong with him my mind fell right back on him. When he come back again I'm'ma ask him what his name is. Ive heard people call him about six different names and some of the names I'm not gonna call him. The last time he was sitting here talking about the women, love and God I am so confused. I guess me quoting bible scriptures him didn't help matters so next time I won't.
I'm sitting here saying next time like I know it's gonna be a next time, for some reason I want it to be a next time. Thing is men don't like to talk to a woman unless they're bragging about something but this one's different he need to talk.
Days went by then a week he didn't show up.
I went on doing my stuff thinking less about him. Late one evening I was in the backyard raking up leaves and sticks. Can I help you with that he said. I didn't see him come up, what's your name I know what they call you but what's your name I asked. He kneeled down picked up the trash and put it in the basket I had picking up trash. Mike he said
Ive heard them call him Mike too but I didn't know if it was his real name or not. I'm trying not to come here talking to you too much, what's too much I asked. You know where you wear out welcome when you wasn't invited in the first place. It's hasn't costed me nothing not even time I said. You know Mike I don't want you to get the wrong idea, I'll talk to you even listen. You know I'm a woman and I'm here by myself all the time and Mike I'll talk you to death I said.
For the first time I got to see him smile and my mind said dam you gorgeous.
I walked over put the trash on the burn pile and started a fire. By this time it had gotten pretty dark and the fire reflecting on his face is something that I wouldn't mind seeing a lot of. I had plies of trash to burn so I sat on the mower he pulled up a chair and sat down
At first as usual everything was quiet nobody saying nothing even that was nice. I found myself looking at the ground most of the time because you know eye contact is a bad boy. It was quiet sounds of night bugs a car or truck going in the distance the smoke from the fire smelling good sat a mood of content. You don't mind me coming here do you. I looked up being flip said if I did you wouldn't be here. Saying that gave me another smile which I dropped my eyes back on the ground again. After a while of quite I had to go to the bathroom I'll be right back I said. You want something I asked tea, beer.
Can I bring you back something to eat I asked tea he said.
When I got back he said you don't go out do you Jay. Out whatcha mean out. Like going out to restaurants to eat out to clubs with others women. I go out sometimes when I'm invited by some people if I want to. I use to but I soon found that it wasn't for me. I had my time liking thing that some folks call normal but after a while that's all it was. Why you asked me that Mike. Cause I don't see you other than in passing, church every now and then. And Ann say I'm boring and cheap cause we don't go out much anymore. Ann I asked that's your lady. In the first place Mike Ann would start a fight that would never end putting you in yo place talk to another woman about her I asid.
I had a feeling that this had something to do with a woman. Look Mike I'll talk to you til you blue in the face about anything but yo women. A man should be respectful and not talk about the woman that he's with or have been with, with nobody. Don't worry he said she left me I'm not good enough for her nomore. That conversation about Ann stopped.
The thing is Mike some people want and like different things. Some people are people persons some are not I'm a not.
She just want different things now, yeah he said me not being one of them. I said I'm sorry Mike but really for some reason I was glad to know he wasn't with anyone. For once I wasn't quoting him bible verses like I said I wouldn't.
Hey Mike not being funny or nothing what's God got to do with this I asked.
Me breaking up with Ann me hurting got to thinking that the Lord is trying to tell me something. We talked til about 10 and then all of a sudden he said. What I don't understand is why some people get mad when other people have things that they don't have and want. My first mind said
I'm truly am not going to be able to talk to this man without the Lord or bible scripture.
