In the beginning, flowers and kisses
He promises marriage, love and plenty of ***
He gets a job, gives her money and attention
He's always there for her, always calling, always smiling

He loves her children although they're not his
He takes her places and buys her things
He helps with the laundry, the car and the food
He doesn't venture far from home unless she's with him

In the beginning, she cares how she looks
She doesn't want marriage but to live like a couple
She appreciates flowers but wishes he'd left them to live
She loves the way he smiles, smells and teases

She enjoys going on adventures with him
She takes pride in keeping up with the chores
She thinks they will make it together to happily ever after
She believes that for once, she's finally found the one

In the end he discovers he wasn't ready
In the end he realizes he just loves her as a friend
In the end he doesn't make good on his promises
In the end they never have ***

In the end she stops caring about her looks
In the end she doesn't even want to cook
In the end her computer keeps her company
In the end she's still so lonely
