something salty something sweet

the needs of a woman are simple
any man with a decent IQ should know what women want
your basic brain surgeon who owns oceanfront property and his own jet (landing strip out back)
he knows the perfect age of wine and has millions somewhere in the cayman islands
right?
that's what she wanted, right?
wrong.
as much as she has loved materialism in the past, what she knew today proved differently
today, she would have settled for a man who could hold down a steady job
a man who could open her heart without having to cut her open
no IV. no operating table. only love.
wanting and needing are two entirely different things
but for her, wanting and needing were too similar
she wanted time.
she needed time.
and she wasn't really allowed either
inhaling the smell of the ocean that she could have wanted, she smiled
how wonderful it would be to have her own orchard
to have a man who could age the wine himself
the combination of salty and sweet
maybe that's what she needed
no, maybe that's what she wanted
who really knows the difference?
