He said, "Trust me, I don't toy with hearts,
Our dealings are honest, right from the start."

I replied, "You said that once before,
But words alone won't put my fears to the fore."

He quipped, "Talk is cheap, actions speak true,
But fear not, friend, for I desire a companion too.

Building beds may not be my forte,
But rest assured, I'll cherish you night and day."

I said, "Alright, I'll give you my trust,
But what if you change your mind, what if you must?"

He said, "Fear not, my friend, I know my heart,
I'll treat you with love, from the very start."
