The Non-Proposal

This is the story of a clueless man I had to give the “eye” to for a dance! But once he noticed me, the tale began. However, it was not a huge romance! He had no car or money. Both of us were students, broke and working. What a pair! We didn’t even get to take a bus, just talked and walked together everywhere. We talked of everything; I even cooked his meals. He lived next door! There never was a day we weren’t together. It just looked like we’d get hitched. No reason. Just because! No courting; no proposal did I get. In forty years, I haven’t heard one yet!
