Definitely Maybe

He gazed just past her empty, soulful eyes and said, "I really kinda love you so. I always sometimes see you as a prize and feel my love will surely maybe grow. In one or maybe nine or seven years, I'm almost pretty sure I'll want a wife. If you say 'Maybe not," you'll see my tears. Your words will cut just like a butter knife. The children we won't have will be so sad. The home we never built will soon fall in. The in-laws who aren't there will be so mad because we weren't where we had never been." **************************************** "I've seldom never heard such heartfelt bunk. You've made your feelings clear as mud," she said. "I think I know what I just heard is junk. I sorta wish you'd drop somewhat half-dead."
