It's so hard not to say what loved ones want to hear
somehow I learned to occasionally discern what people want to hear
and it's hard to keep from making others happy by complying
it's difficult to keep quiet when I feel the other person projecting
"Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it to me now!!"
to say what another wants
how could that be bad?
what about free will and timing?
what about complexity and setting?
do I feel like saying anything?
"Give it to me! Give it to me! Give it all to me now!"
especially for women, it's hard to say no to those we love
we give care, we pet you, we love you, we feed you
and it's hard to ignore the requests for attention
"Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me now, PLEASE!"
we wanna make you happy
we wanna give you everything
and what about truth?
do we feel it now?
what about contradictions?
is it true tonight?
and so will it be true tomorrow?
luckily, yes, we can be transparent if we stick to the most fundamental ideas
we can be truthful and still comply too
give it, open our hearts, and enjoy the process
"Yes, you're so beautiful. You're always so beautiful. You'll always, always be beautiful to me."

    Thanks. I'm noticing now that it may not have been written as clearly as I meant it. :?

    My husband thought it was complaining about someone needing attention rather than about how a woman wants/likes to give attention to people she loves. :geek:
