She didn’t have true love on her mind.
Money was more important to her,
a practical woman.
I don’t care for gold diggers, but I think
I can understand her and commiserate.
I cannot blame her for seeking financial security
and nearly everything that money can buy.
I can understand her desires for the best food,
the best clothes, the best home and more.
Her life becomes sort of a Disneyland where
practically all her dreams and wishes come true.
What works for her, would never work for me;
I’ve no desire for that kind of life.
The glam, the luxuries, the riches mean
nothing to me.
But I can understand how they can make life
more fulfilling, and I can see how nice it would be
to never have to worry about money and be able
to buy nearly anything you want.
And given true love doesn’t always last, maybe
her practical plan is wiser than just seeking
illusive, true love.
