He, She

He says he loves her
She says he doesn’t
He says he’ll always be there for her
She says he won’t
He adores her
She despises him
He sees his future in her eyes
She sees the Devil in disguise
He tells her he loves her
She tells him “diddo”
He says shes nothing less than beautiful
She says “yes, I know”
He tries his best to keep her secure
She tries her best to push him away
He tries his best to prove that she’s special
She tries her best to show she doesn’t care
He tries his best to love her like no other
She tries her best to love him like a brother
He loves her and doesn’t care who knows it
She loves him but just don’t know how to show it
He’s never been in a relationship
She’s never been in one this deep
He’s not afraid to show his feelings
She's too afraid to speak her mind
He wants to spend the rest of his life with her
She wants to make it last this time

Interesting views of a complicated relationship. Original and realistic. Not everyone has a perfect love or relationship. You think outside the box. I like that.
