Poem---Romance Novels and Life

Why can't life be like a romance book?
In a romance book, the couple always end up together,
happily ever after.
They might have their issues,
but at the end they end up getting resolved, and stay together.
When the man says that he wants them to be together forever,
they are.
And the woman never has anyone chasing after her that she is not interested in,
she already has the one that she wants.
And that one that she has,
only wants her to and only says i love you to her.
Instead of reality, which is the one man that she really and truly wants,
won't be with her for whatever reasons.
He had asked her to marry him several times,
and she had always accepted.
But in the end, they didn't end up together.
Why is that?
He decided, even though he has admitted that he still loves her,
that he won't be with her.
Whether it is because he likes his new life, girlfriend,
or the family that he has up there more, she doesn't know.
But what is strange is that she knows (because he still tells you and acts like it),
that in cares for you, and yet for whatever reason he won't be with you.
If it was a romance novel, they would have ended up together no matter what.

In a romance novel,
the one that you would have ended up with would have made you happy.
You wouldn't be with someone that you weren't sure about.
Even though this person says that they love you and wants to be with you,
you seem to be making yourself be with this person.
They are just not the person that you are longing for or dreaming about.
Its not that this person is treating you horribly,
they are just not what you are used to.
You were used to being treated like a princess,
whatever you wanted would have been brought.
You got used to having attention paid to you when you wanted it.
You were used to being complimented and someone being affectionate towards you.
Instead now you are trying to get used to being ignored,
and only being told something that is a complaint.
Now you also have to basically beg for attention.
Why can't life be more like a romance novel?
Instead of when the guy and girl see each other after a while of being apart,
they hug and kiss, and can't get enough of each other,
but they don't end up together at the end of the story.
