Long time ago when I was young and twenty, I felt in love to a very pretty girl, she was very kind too. I decided to tell my felling and I proposed her. The result she rejected me because of something that she couldn't explain. She had someone special deep in her heart, that wasn't me. Until now I still love her and this is my expectation:
If she had felt in love with me as well, I would have married her. If I had married her, I would have bought her a small cozy house. If we had had a house; we would have built a happy family with two children. If I had had children, they would have gone to elementary school now and I would have been a good father for them.
