YOU LOVE? Life is about choices. Someone once said "live like its your last day". You might get hit by a bus tomorrow. Don't have any regrets. Take that trip to Europe. Sky dive off a plane. Drive across country. Have a threesome. Have a baby. Start that business. Buy that motorcycle. This is living right? The reality is, you will probably NOT get hit by a bus. You will probably live for the next 50 years. Only you know what you can live with and WHO you can live without.
I saw her and I knew. "I could make a life with this woman." We never slowed down. First, she was a woman I'm seeing. Within a few weeks, she was my girlfriend. Then, we were engaged. I've always been a focused dude. I finished my undergrad degree in three years. Finished graduate school in less then two. Opening my own business, was one of my things on my MUST do list. I stumbled across a great opportunity. I pitched the idea to my boy. We were off and running. A new business means long days and even longer nights. At first, she was supportive. She knew how important this was. The business wasn't taking off like I'd hoped. I barely slept. I wanted it to work so bad. It started to interfere with OUR time. She started complaining about the wedding plans. I tried to strike a balance. Everyday SOMETHING would come up. If the business was going to succeed, I had to make some sacrifices. We postponed the wedding plans. We later drifted apart. I don't have any regrets. I still love her. I just loved IT more. Still Single
It happens all the time , you have to Respect a Persons Dreams , and he really wanted his Dream to Work , I'm Sure she Loved him but waiting for him to (MAKE IT) wasn't in the Cards !

Sometimes it may seem, girl, I'm neglecting you

This song was sung by the Isley Brothers and later Vanessa Williams recorded it. Women often put their lives on hold waiting for men to realize their dreams. How many men could accept a woman tell them the exact same thing and still remain faithful? Hmmm . . .
