In autumn, she met a guy.
He was charming.
After nine shots and multiple kisses,
he said I love you.

She was over the moon.
He was every girl's daydream.
She soon realised he didn't actually mean anything.

She realised it when,
He called her wavy brown curls hideous.

She realised it when,
He asked her to wear makeup because her face looked tedious.

She realised it when,
He pointed out her insecurities.

She realised it when,
She found him kissing another girl.

She knew she had compromised too much for him.

Even so much as her self-respect.
