I used to be young and very sexy, loved it.
Now all of a sudden I am old...it is a difficult thing to get used to...
It happened about 10 years ago, little things, needing glasses, teeth not
as white as they should be. Hearing sounds a little muffled, I am not as
My face is beginning to "melt" like a wax figurine too long in the hot sun!
And, the worst thing is...I am invisible in society. If I attend a function the men
scan the room (as men do, they SCAN the women for potential sex) even if they have no intentions of commiting the deed. They scan right through me, as if I was not there.
I can see their face going "Nah, she's a granny type person" and move on. The only men
who think I am interesting are the really old Uncles and Widowers, who look more
saggy than me, they get a twinkle in their eye and want to talk, on and on. (that is all
they can accomplish, the rest is their memories) The sad thing is, I shall be like that
too one day. Funny how life goes really quickly when you are young, working, raising
children, housework, beach, sport, partner etc.
The old wise saying "youth is wasted on the young" If I knew what I know now about life, maybe I would have planned things differently.
I never understood that when I was cute, slim, wanted,working and had my whole life
ahead of me. I am still hoping for love and fighting old age, I will go to places,like the art gallery, painting classes, sometimes the local club (but the men there usually stare at the tv and guzzle grog) Nah, I am not desperate yet. There are not many places to go for the over
58 year olds are there? Anyhow, sweeties, time for me to go. See you next time. xxxx
