When It's Real!

It's no secret:" I LOVE JIMMY and CHRISSY!" I love what they have and it's REAL!!! When you have a love as GENUINE as theirs, you've been BLESSED BY GOD! People talk, society talks and family DEFINITELY talk, but they haven't allowed people to taint their LOVE. Some of the biggest distractions in the world have enveloped them in a whirlwind of controversy, but they still stand. Mama Jones has been the biggest distraction to date, but they still STAND!
I can't say the same for myself and I've been trying with all my might to explain this to Lucas, but he has no idea what LOYALTY, HONESTY and TRUE LOVE MEANS. I'm not even talking about his debacle with infidelity, we are on a whole other level with this. If a man doesn't have enough RESPECT to formally introduce you to his family, put them in "check" when they get out of line...then it's time to move on.
If his friends have the audacity to influence his feelings for you, to the point where he HIDES his feelings or DOWN PLAYS your significance in his life...run like the wind. When you meet a man who feels compelled to keep female companions who (he knows) has a romantic interest in him and  you express the suspicion of her feelings; yet he STILL KEEPS HER COMPANY...leave dude alone. Even if you're like me; a girl who is quite SECURE in herself and has no time to entertain some broad who wants to pretend to be "BESTIES" with no feelings for a man. Yeah, Ok...we all know how that can play out at the end of the day. Most guys I've been "cool" with, have a crush. So when I get the slightest inkling of this, I quickly EXTINGUISH ANY HOPES OF A RELATIONSHIP! Either you're my friend or you're NOTHING and if you can't deal with that...PEACE! I detest guys who sit around like a hungry dog waiting for a RESOLUTION that will NEVER come. If I didn't like you back in the day, NOTHING will make me like you now...SORRY!
I've tried relentlessly to explain this concept to Lucas, it fell on deaf ears. But everything in this life is a learning experience. Next time I won't be so careless when it comes to women calling or texting my new man.  See, I'm not the JEALOUS type, it just doesn't work for me; it's a wasted emotion and shows INSECURITY! But when you are fair, and this "friend" not only contacts him on the regular, but tries to befriend you as his woman, we have an issue.
Men pursue me CONSTANTLY, but I ALWAYS keep them at arms length. I will not allow you to DISRESPECT ME OR MINES, even though this is a mess.
We need to know what RESPECT and TRUE LOVE is...also when folks are out of line. But as the world turns people NEVER seem to learn their LESSON. Although, I have experienced ALL OF THE ABOVE...I WILL NEVER STOP BELIEVING THERE ARE MEN WHO KNOW WHAT TRUE LOVE IS AND WHO AREN'T AFRAID TO SHOW IT!
