Wow. That is all I have to say. I mean if this guy is that willing to actually love her like he claim to, then she should snatch him up. Of course there is no mention of chemistry on her part. I think that if I was this lady I might think he is really not telling the truth. Yet from a perspective of youth, which I assume is the state of the two. I see this form of promise as part of the mating game. I think the poem overall was too complicated and did not have a good flow to it. The points are taken, but it was a struggle to grasp it.
