The Upset That Would Be Perfection


             Now, I know what I have said in the past about men being unnecessary.  However, I think there is a small inkling of a light somewhere in my black soul that thinks maybe they’re OK.  In small doses.  Small, small doses.  Very small.
            Take Jeff for example; smart, adorable, funny, good in bed, caring.  Who wouldn’t want to have that in their corner?!  I, for one, would love to have that in my corner, unfortunately the time isn’t correct.  However, my timing is never correct.  Hello!  I am still single, and I still haven’t had sex in North Carolina, and I still want to be monogamous.  In some small form of the word.  I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like having a random sex life, and I like not being tied down and I like doing what I want.  But there is something in being with one person that is also comforting. 
            I liked the whole coming home to one person.  And seeing that persons face as you fall asleep, and waking up knowing that he is going to be they’re laying next to you.  There is something in knowing everything about one person and that person knowing everything about you.  Comfort in sitting a certain way on a couch and snuggling so that you’re both comfortable.  Even taking a shower together is fun. 
            “Your hair clean?  OK.  Switch.”  (You then rotate 160 degrees so that they can wash their hair.)
            Unfortunately for me I don’t have this.  I did at one time.  But I don’t anymore.  Somewhere deep inside of me is sad, but the other deep dark place is kind of happy with it.  But I could have had it with Jeff.  Of course I could have!  He shoots me texts every now and again asking how I am and calling me “Hun”.  Which I love.  Too bad our time spent together was learning one another’s anatomy and not getting to really know one another.  (But am I complaining?  NOPE!  Got to have sex when I wanted for a while… no complaints here).
            But why did he have to be the one that was perfect? 
            Could things have been more?  I don’t know.  Was I happy with the way it ended?  Well, I guess it didn’t really end on any term being that he was staying and I was going.  But NO!  I was not happy with the ending damnit!  It just figures that all this shit I deal with in my life pans out for the worst when it would have or could have been better. 
            Perfection? 
            It makes me wonder if there really is any such thing.  Think about it; you’re in love.  You are head over heals in love with someone, and you think they feel the same.  Then “BAM!  A fucking bullet rips off half your head and your brain is laying on the ground in little bloody pieces,” now here is the question…  Was it worth it?  Was it worth your brains and your heart being blown up over someone that would have or could have been the one?  Or would you go back and do it all over strictly for the experience of loss and hurt?  Perhaps in hopes of finding something better?  Or maybe in knowing what you DON’T want in the next relationship?  Would you have settled into your life with said person because it was all you knew? 
            Perfection in Jeff?  Maybe.  Could it have gone somewhere?  Perhaps.  Would it have ended poorly because I am a black curse on the relationship front?  New nickname for myself would be “Plague.”  I can’t keep them, and I don’t think they want to keep me.  Honestly, think about it…
            Is it perfection or it is a reoccurring upset?
