Irony of Man and Woman
In every strong man,
there is a little boy in him
who needs to be mothered
like a little baby needs.
In every strong woman,
there is a little girl in her
who needs to be fathered
with strong arms to hold and carry.
If both man and woman need a ‘parent’ wouldn't it be an irony?
So take turns to be that great ‘father’ and ‘mother’ to each other.
That'll make a great couple indeed.

My Reflection
I was inspired to write the above poem after reading what a friend wrote in his blog about his female friend:
she asked, why was i not emo about her like i did with her.
i was taken back. why should i be emo about her like i did with her?
she said, it strikes her that im the kind of person, if not going emo-llistic over someone, my feelings arent that strong for the person.
so, now im the kind that has love spiraling downwards. >_<
but i only know that,
shes the one there who said hello.
shes the one there when i REALLY need someone.
shes the one there when i went through the previous 2 difficult relationships.
shes the one that, i can lay down my fists and be a kid again.
shes the one that, urging me on with her gentle words when everything looks bleak. shes the one that, had me hopelessly attracted to her warmth, sensitivity, intellects and corny jokes. shes the one, i have learned from and learned to appreciate.
shes the one, i have kept missing time and time again.
shes the one, i have.
shes the one, when we were young and she will be the one, when we are old.
good vibes, good friend, a confidant and perhaps, better more… how do i get emo? that is why shes my mistress. =]

Very often a man wants to be that 'little boy' and not that 'father'. But the truth is that a woman also needs to be that 'little girl' within. When one's physical and emotional 'account' keeps withdrawing without 'depositing' it will go empty one day. That's the cause of many relationships or marriages breakups.
If only they realize that both need to always play their roles at different times of their relationship, to be that 'parent', then perhaps they can 'live happily ever after'..... :)

I don't think I need to be mothered and Sofia needs to be fathered. I do think we both need affection and need to show and express that to one another. Gentleness, tenderness and appreciation are not qualities solely of a parent to a child.
