I once had a girlfriend.
I told her, “You’re wonderful.” She replied, “Words don’t matter—only actions do.” I told her, “I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” She replied, “Words don’t matter—only actions do.” I told her, “I love you,” and she replied, “Words don’t matter—only actions do.”
I loved her deeply. I tried to fulfill her wishes, treated her gently, comforted her when she was sad, celebrated with her when she was happy, and helped her when she needed it. In bed, I always waited for her to finish first. And every single night, I’d tell her she was the most important person in my life, that I loved her more than anyone ever—and still she replied, “Words don’t matter—only actions do.”
Until one day I told her, “You know… your ass has gotten pretty wide.”
