Finally Accepted



Caringly respected they seek an affair.
Sparingly inspected they start to impair.
Eagerly connected they fall for romance.
Meagerly directed they discount mischance.
Normally detected they ignore price tags.
Formally dissected they soon spot red flags.
Foolishly invested they squander the hours.
Mulishly divested they abscond with glowers.
Torpidly dejected they recoil in gloom.
Morbidly rejected they resign to doom.
Nauseously ejected they attain reserve.
Cautiously corrected they return to verve.
Alertly indicted they become aware.
Overtly invited they renounce despair.
Finally accepted they exist no more.
Eternally affected they exit the door.
