Day 365

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
—Echoes, Pink Floyd

A man’s eyes are different than a woman’s.

His eyes watch her figure.  And if he’s truly interested, his eyes gaze deeply into hers.

For a woman, as vain as it sounds, I find that women watch men as their men watch them.  Women love to be adored.  And men love to gaze upon women.

It’s a cycle, not one I claim to understand.  No, I don’t understand at all.

What’s more is that I do not understand what it takes to bring a man to the point of pursuit.

What is it that turns his mere interest into a longing, a longing that cannot be ignored and one he must answer?

The woman at the grocery story.  The gas station.  The teacher, or banker.  What is it that ignites a man’s heart to pursue?  I may never know.
