Heartbreaker

When they met, sparks flew
Deep down we just knew

Love without question
Instant combustion

Match made in heaven
Lucky star seven

They looked so happy
Truly meant to be

Thought it was magic 
Never did so click

It was sheer delight
Smiles ever so bright

Joy radiated
They looked elated

Then he never called
We were all appalled

Never understood
Nobody e’er could

Cruel bitter ointment
His fear of commitment
