Maybe he is going to be like this
granted that he is older then me
I didn't think we would end up here
we were born in two different parts of the world
he from a middle class background
I happen to be above that
But no I am not the selfish rich brat the media and my aunts make out to be
I should point out that I am kind, down to earth, resourceful and trusting
He is smart, good looking, well spoken and generous in his ways
But very aloof and completely absent minded
not just during times of stress or commotion
But i am beginning to think that he will forever be like this
means well but jumbles up his words
needs peace and privacy but cannot say no to others
Nice but too obedient
shallow, and becoming increasingly stubborn these days
Men will always have the upper hand but he just happens to also be the oldest
I was born to an librarian with a lot of ancestral land
my daddy went up the ladder thanks to handwork and the right contacts
I cant say i hate him because i don't
I cant day he is a bad man because he really isn't
But there is a lot missing
talking to him has become painfully boring
we say only what needs to be said
Our routines are different
so different, that sometimes we don't see each other for months
which suits me just fine because I don't think that either one of us misses the other
