He Should Move The Mountains

Anonymous

Now, Now, Now, we have all heard it. A man that wants you will move the mountains to be with you. ain't a thing in the world could keep him away. Last month I thought I finally found that. For once the tables had turned. I didn't have to reach out to the guy first. I didn't have to convince the world that he indeed liked me back. My love was not taken for granted.

When we first met it was like an explosion. Never before had I ever seen a man like this. I swear that for a moment in time we were the only humans on Earth. People pray for chemistry like ours.

It has been driving me nuts wondering when I would ever see him again. When would we rekindle the flame?

Tonight, I saw him. But, it was different.

1. He gave attitude

I asked him what church he went to. He replied with a harsh, sarcastic tone. "Uhhhhh...A church in West Palm Beach." It wasn't like I asked him what his address is! It wasn't anything too personal. Did I strike a nerve? His tone reminded me of how men have treated me all my life. So cold. So heartless, with no love in his heart. It hurt.

2. He Made excuses

Granted he only came to get something from his friend.

I told him to stay longer (so that I could talk to him and get to know him) he claims that it'll take too long. So fine, I say that he should come Sunday night and yet again he blocked that measure. He says that he has homework that he's been procrastinating on.

Do you just not want to come and spend time with me? Do you think that I am not worth the trip? Had it not been for your friend would you still have visited eventually? Over the past month, did you even think about me? Did you miss me? It makes me feel like I am not worth it. A man that wants you will move the mountains to be with you. ain't a thing in the world could keep him away.

3. It Is Gone

That same man that would not take no for answer. That same man that pursued me. That even when I ignored him he continued to drive at me. He was persistent. He fought for my love!

It was that that attracted me to him. I felt like he would swim across the Atlantic Ocean just to be with me. There was no limit to what he would do to declare my love.

Where is that man? Tonight that man perished. You came to do one thing and get out.

It wouldn't have made a difference if I was there or not. Or if I ever existed. You didn't make me feel special in any way like you did a month ago. It breaks my heart that you don't care as much as I care.

I have learned from my mistakes though. I will not stop the waves for a man that won't even step foot in the waters. My love is nothing to be played with. A man that wants you will move the mountains to be with you. Ain't a thing in the world could keep him away.
