Textual Analysis Essay
   “When a woman loves a man, she wants him to meet her at the airport in a foreign country with a jeep. When a man loves a woman he’s there. He doesn’t complain that she’s two hours late and there’s nothing in the refrigerator.” The difference of the way loving each other’s between man and woman are distinct. The poem “When a Woman Loves a Man “by David Lehman addresses compromise in a relationship, expectations towards each other and the meaning of love.
   In a relationship beaker cannot be avoid, we need to compromise to each other sometimes. In the poem it says “They fight all the time It’s fun What do I owe you? Let’s start with an apology Ok, I’m sorry, you dickhead. “Someone apology to the other first when the having a fight. A person turn their head down to the other first to inclusive what he or she have done because love is powerful. Man gets to understand the woman’s thoughts better. In the poem tells “When she says tomorrow she means in three or four weeks. When she says, “We’re talking about me now,” he stops talking. Her best friend comes over and says, “Did somebody die?”.” These are saying that man gets the thoughts of the woman’s heart when she say those words, so he keep his mouth shouts as she wish in her heart.
   Sometimes things happens and it flow through, you can’t stop it you just continued do it, accept the things that already be done with the love still in both your hearts. “Ripe apples fall about them. What else can they do but eat?” these says that apple is fall down to the ground the only thing we can do is ate it. Just like in the relationship when it is getting to a point. What else you can do if you want to keep this relationship, is too inclusive the other person and overcome it.
     You need to know what your lover’s thinking sometimes,. Knowing what he or she want to gain  in their heart. “When a woman loves a man, she wants him to meet her at the airport in a foreign country with a jeep. When a man loves a woman he’s there. He doesn’t complain that she’s two hours late and there’s nothing in the refrigerator.” These lines in the poem tells that when the girl love her man she want him to go find her and meet her. When a man loves her girl he just want to go see her. They all know each other’s need so the girls make a chance to let the boy find her.
     In a relationship the lovers will have the expectations towards each other want them to accomplish something. In the poem it says “And when she says, “I’ll never speak to you again,” she means, “Put your arms around me from behind as I stand disconsolate at the window. He’s supposed to know that.”.” The woman expect that the man can really understand her true thoughts from her heart, even thought when she said the opposite words.
   By the time you spend with your girl you probably remember what she like what she is thinking what she is feeling most of the time. Known her by heart, let her lived in your heart know what she except you to accomplish. “When a woman loves a man, she wants him to meet her at the airport in a foreign country with a jeep.When a man loves a woman he’s there. He doesn’t complain that she’s two hours late and there’s nothing in the refrigerator” She expect that her man will come to find her meet her, and her man did , reach her exception go see her and didn’t care that should wait for two hours.
   When they having the fight someone must accept the other to apologize first to be able to cool the situation down.  “They fight all the time It’s fun What do I owe you? Let’s start with an apology Ok, I’m sorry, you dickhead. “These quote says that one of the person turn their head down to the other first to let the situation to pacify. Trust takes an importance place in a relationship. It relates to the future of two people. “One year they broke up seven times and threatened to do it another nine times.”  This quote means that in this year they had a lot of conflict between each other, then lead them to break ups and even more frequently after time.   Â
    The meaning of love is let her feel secure and let her know that you are not going to leave her for any reason, work hard for you and her and babies. Let her relax and do the things she want, respect her decisions thoughts, the man should handle the hard work outside and be the backbone for the family.  In the poem “When a woman loves a man it is one ten in the morning she is asleep he is watching the ball scores and eating pretzels drinking lemonade and two hours later he wakes up and staggers into bed where she remains asleep and very warm.” This means that when a woman loves a man, she can fall asleep beside him no matter what he is doing because she feel secure and warm from the heart.
   The meaning of love is unconditional we give out the good part of us, two not perfect people add it together became one perfect people. And you can always let the your girl feel she is the most happiness’s person ,and when she staying with you she don’t need to worry about losing you because you will stay beside her no matter what happens. “or she is wearing a sweater and sunglasses in Balboa Park and he is raking  leaves in Ithaca”
The image of the passage shows that when the man is raking leaves he let his girl to stay in the park comfortable with the sun glasses on, relaxing. It’s a way showing love that he is able to do any job for her. Let her keep in the fancy living style.
     The time couples spend with each other is always insufficient. “When a woman loves a man, she wants to stay awake. She’s like a child crying at nightfall because she didn’t want the day to end.” In other words, a woman will be unwilling to fall asleep at night because she don’t want to accept the fact that a day passed away and the time she can spend with her loved one have lessened. A woman will never be satisfy by the amount of time she could spend with her man because she wants to stay with that stupid man forever. A woman will only react this way when she falls in love with a man.
    Trust take an important character between the couples, you should always trust your girl, because she love you, everything she tell you to do have her meaning behind it. A healthy relationship should not have lies. They will trust each other no matter what. When a woman loves a man it is one ten in the morning  she is asleep he is watching the ball scores and eating pretzels drinking lemonade and two hours later he wakes up and staggers  into bed
where she remains asleep and very warm. These passage shows that, the girl trust that the man will never leave her when she is sleeping so that’s the reason she can remain sleep and warm. No matter what he is doing beside her.
   The poem “When a Woman Loves a Man” by David Lehman this poem addresses compromise in a relationship, expectations towards each other and the meaning of love. Just like how they says here love is unconditional, the  insufficient time and the infinity trust within the two people in the relationship.
