I just Wonder

They met and became friends
She fell for him
and wanted more than friendship.
She became close to him
talked with him
spent a lot of time with him.
He liked her personality
and didn't mind being friends with a beautiful angel like her.
She invited him over
and showed him around the house
After a while, they sat
together on the couch
staring at nothing.
She looked at him
He looked at her
She moved close and kissed him
He couldn't resist so he responded
Slowly and gently, they had each other.

They saw each other more often
She became one he couldn't do without
He realized he had fallen for her.
He told all his friends about her.
One day, he picked a ring for her
After all they had known each other for a while
After all they were in love and they cared for each other
why not spend all their lives together?
He intended to surprise her
by asking for her hand in marriage.
On getting to her house
he saw her coming out of the house
hand in hand with another man
an older man to be precise.

She denied knowing him
and said he could have been the real estate agent
he was shocked and hurt.
He hurried away.
He couldn't eat or sleep
his life was completely shut
His world was falling apart
His best friend couldn't even console him
He sat at his work desk and cried
like a baby craving mama's milk.
She shut him out completely
She didn't call or return his calls
He wondered if he was just a fling
He wondered if he wasn't good enough
But he realized he was wrong
He was everything she wanted in a man
but she was already married to an older man.
She was married before she met and fell for him.
She never told him.

I cannot help but wonder. Do men still cry over women? With everything I see around me, I cannot help but ask if a love like this exists... I mean the kind that shatters a whole man's world when he sees his love is slipping away... DO real men cry over women they love?

big question.
who knows?
i dont know oh!
so the guys should answer

Eb the Celeb said...

yeah they do... just in private... they let no one see them cry... and they probably wont even admit that they do... but know that they do

Joy Akut said...

sometimes we over look how mean women can be in relationships and put all the blame on the men.
sometimes we overlook love and pursue money...forgeting the important things that matter.

i second eb...real men still cry, well they do after they've tried to drown their heartbreak with bottles upon bottles of alchohol...then they cry. thats my theory and i'm sticking to it.

Arewa said...

AWWWW how sad!!
They do oh... i have evidence. Its just that most men do not really show emotions but deep down.. they are just as human and emotional as women.... their machoness(new word)is just a front....Longest time hope u are doing ok x x x x Hollar!

guerreiranigeriana said...

hmmmnnn...i can't say for certain, but i hypothesize that they do...i know they hurt enough to cry...

Anonymous said...

Oh no this is sad.. yeah they do cry but most of them will not want you to see them do so.

Princess said...

Real men probably do cry, but in private and with no bawling involved.

DO MEN CRY OVER WOMEN?

me being a guy, i will answer that.

i dont know about other guys but, i have cried just one time in my life over a woman

dont get me wrong, you will never catch me crying ful stop,but the last time i remebred crying was wen my grandad died 5years ago and ova my ex a couple of months ago

she wanted end it, i didnt, go figure

but thats the last time i will ever cry over any girl, no chick is worth my tears, too precious.

Obinwanne said...

this is such a good pice and to answer ur question....YES real men still cry over women...

Sasuke said...

yeah i guess guys still do fall deeply in love with a woman well enough to cry

na person wey wear shoe na im no where the thing dey pain am.

in as much as it is in our psychology to act like superman when it concerns things bothering on our emotions, when water pass garri nobody go tell you say na time to cry her a river.

now the question is, Sasuke have you ever cried for the love of a woman before? that na jamb question my dear but i aint ruling myself out of........ na lie i no go talk

TheAfroBeat said...

Hmm, good one! I can't speak for anyone really but I do think there are still men who fall so head over heels that they are completely shattered (may not necessarily CRY) over the loss of said love.

Hmm, what do you think?

Great story by the way! I was expecting it to turn out to be her twin whom he'd run into ;)

flawsandall said...

in my twisted feminist mind i jump for joy when a mans heart is broken..lol...i love to see them cry..

from a broken hearted woman

Silenct, princess, jaybabe, Diary... thanks for your comments. Guess since yall have never seen them cry, you can't really tell

Fresh & Fab
Oh waow sorry to hear that. Thanks 4 stating your sex. GOd knows I would have been like "heyyyyyyyy gurl long time" on your page. Sometimes it's not holdign on that makes you strong, it's letting go.

Obi, how have u been broda?

Sasuke, o kuku ni pa mi with laffter. So sasuke have u cried over any woman before?

Afrobeat hehehe you were expecting some soap oper aor something... we might try to use your story line. Thanks for stopping by.. long time o

Zephi
You are something else o. If you can't break their heart, beat them so they'll cry.

darkelcee said...

hmmm

Sad story!

but i think everyone cry at one point or the other in their life.

the reason behind the tear varies though.

nice post

ejatutu said...

i believe that there are men who still cry, it is a shame that women and people in general regard these men as less of a man so we don't get to see it more often and thus it becomes abnormal......
if u love something and lose it.
It hurts and that can and wil bring tears.

princesa said...

Real men are in toch with their emotions so they cry.

I love a man who can put his head on my bosom and let it out.
Not wailing like a baby o!

Unknown said...

Princesa

your comment made me laugh
lol@wailing like a baby hahhahahah

You are right@ejatutu
For a minute, I thought it wasn't
normal for a guy to cry
and I have been biased like everyone else....
My perspective changed years back...
when I saw a grown man cry over a woman... I'm like show! na yam?
Hmmm

Very true@darkelcee
How would u react if a man cried in front of you because of you?
