Fake It Until You Make It

January started out with enthusiasm and a spark.

She had met him at a summer Shakespeare in the Park.

Hadn't thought much about him after that though,

Until they saw each other in a group, playing in the snow.

~

By February, they were definitely a couple, quite an item,

Kissing, cuddling, and long texts that she would write him.

March sped by with romantic dates lasting long into the night,

they decided to move in together, taking love to a new height.

~

April then May seemingly came and then just as suddenly, went...

and by now they were questioning the time and money each had spent.

June and July were long and humid, so very, very hot,

tempers flared at each other and their manners they forgot.

~

By August, contemplating a split, but September came a cease fire,

with football, falling leaves, and such, bad times didn't seem as dire.

October still ups and downs, but they worked harder to be nice,

he gave her wine and roses...in the bedroom, she gave him lots of spice.

~

November was kind of scary and definitely more "tricky..."

They spent the time with in-laws and that was kind of iffy.

Go ahead and ask me, I know you want to know, "Will they make it?"

Ask Me in December...until then, they might just have to fake it!
