I reiterate, It’s confidential no retaliating. It’s fortuitous but

harangue. I’m consecrating . It might mollify you. May u

burgeon & keep on guffawing! I exhort to peruse & construe

properly please I’ll eradicate. I delineate , elucidate ,

vindicate and censure .It would be equivocal. Don’t thrive to

eschew. My life has exacerbated. I’m abysmal , sybarite ,

besotted, parvenu, lugubrious & erratic but aboveboard &

docile I’ve always assailed only but you’ve debunked. I’m

dupe not duke. You’ve eluded yourself. As a cynic &

imprudent ,I exasperated you with strings of never ending

questions but it’s excruciating .You can fete your own hero. I

finagled you but I’m not fleecing you. I’m floundering. You’ve

given me formal statement about your background but from

various hints, I’ve gleaned that you grew up in difficult

circumstances. Having castigated I goad you for guffawing. It

has ham-stringed me. Now I meander. I’ve mesmerized. Can

you patronize? I’m perturbing you. Standing forlornly by the

window, I keep on pinning for you. I’m not prevailing just I’m

quoting. I’ve reneged on nearly every agreement. Don’t rile.

You would savvy what to do. I don’t want squander. My

father has thwarted me. I’m not unnerving you. I aspire to

vanquish, encumber & fawn you. It’s my artifice. I never care

what others say about my appearance but I’ve chagrined by

the smallest comment from you. It’s conundrum &

convoluted that you’re abstruse. You’ve

already admonished. You’re amenable & munificent,

precocious ,scrupulous ,affable ,placid, unstinting & I’m

anomalous. Promise! I’ll ameliorate & exalt. Bolster me

please. I’ll never circumscribe to chortle. I concede, You win!

I’m deleterious for u. You demurred but I denigrated,

debased, degraded, demeaned & besmirched. I don’t use

dilatory tactics. I’m known for my eclectic, pernicious,

petulant. I’ve always obtained efficacious. Don’t vilify & be

egregious. You’re an eminent girl. Your love has enervated &

incensed me. It has engendered. By the time we reach 21-

years old, most of our habits are so entrenched that it is

difficult for us to change. The lifespan of a one sided love is

ephemeral & transient, lasting from a few hours to a couple

of days. Don’t foment, deride & banish me. Even though I

don't like me, I’ve decided to ingratiate myself to you in

order to advance my career. I lambasted. You keep on

quipping. Sanction me to love. I venerate female races. I miss

your benign, and calm. You can indict. I’m completely

enamored with you. I’m bereft. I'm contentious,

inconsequential discordant, obdurate, don't gainsay my

proposal. I've paucity of knowledge. I don't prevaricate. I'm

wary as well as veracious.
