The wishy washy couple

I want you to love me.

You know I love you!

No I want you to tell me that you love me.

O.K. then, I love you.”

O no, I want you to tell me that you love me

because you want to tell me that you love me.

But I just did want to tell you that I love you!

O but you’re just saying that because I asked you too!

O.K. then, I don’t love you!

Ooo…! why don’t you love me?
