Six-word Love Stories

A few Februaries ago; a radio show on CBC asked for love stories, not more than six words long.

I came up with a few (though most of them sound more like bad fortune cookies or "love slogans" than super-short stories).
...I should also add I was single when I wrote most of these (or maybe, as you read them, you'll think I didn't need to tell you I was single).

Offering much love; seeking worthy recipient.

Seeking love; finding jerks! What gives?

Waiting... Call! Please call... Dial tone

Passion begat marriage; reality begat divorce

I thought: “FOREVER!” He thought differently.

The door closes. The heart breaks.

Confessed love. Unreciprocated. Awkward friendship remains.

Wanted love; bought dog; good choice!

Warm paws, constant love, always there.

Four-footed love, 15 years strong.

Heart desires; head debates; conflict ensues.

Tried again, he accepted. Relationship renewed.

Forever comfortable; always wrapped in love.

Tell the ones you care about, that you care about them! Not just today, but everyday and not just with words, but with actions.
