He said. She said. The things
people say. The things people mean. The things people say. I asked my roommate
if she thought I was a player. Her answer, “oh please!” So I took it to mean
that I was not. Yet I can’t seem to make the big decision. It’s either going to
be for the long-haul or nothing at all. So when they came along and I did not
commit, it is because I did sense that they were not ready. Maybe more like not
worth what I had to offer. He said I was too serious. He said I was too
ambitious. He said I was a complicated woman. I am not fussed. Thing is the
things people say are many times said to achieve their own ends. Sometimes the
things people say are not the things people mean. I could fall in love with
you. I could make a home with you. I could even decide to have three children
instead of two with you. I go in for the long haul. But I will not make the
decision to because you are not ready for what I have to offer. You live your life the way you want to. And I
will live mine. Somewhere, someday we shall both find them who are ready for
what we have to offer. Excerpt from ‘Deep Inside’
