The Tormentor-Lover

There is this lady that I so much like and love
and wanted her to like and love me as well.
She said that she loves me,
but I am not seeing that in her action.
She always breaks my body
by the way she picks my calls and cut my calls.
She would not want me be, and I won't want her be.
She treats me the way she feels
is her way of protecting the WOMAN PRIDE.
Her guess is that since I have not gone under her skin

she has nothing to regret.
But this is not the basis of my entreaty.
I want to be hearing her voice
first thing in the morning
and last thing in the night.
I want her company to make me happy.
I am now regretting this general mindset of our ladies

that it is not love unless you have pushed them to bed.

Are you, and have you met this kind of lady?
