George:    Rose, you don’t understand. Because Mary is so perfect, I feel that I can’t match with her.

Rose:        Why do you think so? You are so matched in my eyes that I’m so envious. Not like me, when I miss him, however, I can’t see him. You really have to treasure her.

George:    Of course I will, but she always forgets me when she is busy. I want to accompany her, but she doesn’t have time to keep company with me. She is always independent. Perhaps she never needs me at all.
