Unromantic utterance

Philippa walked up to me in the kitchen this morning, singing along to that old song that goes, "I don't know why I love you... but I do". As she threw her arms around my neck, I found myself answering her by saying, "You love me because you have an inherent need to care for someone and you were terrified of ending up alone, and I just happened to come along at the time when your fear of loneliness was at its strongest."
Apparently, that wasn't the reaction she wanted...
