He's the perfect man.
He says he loves you.
You think he might even be made for you.
Before long he's moved into your house - and into your heart.
And then he leaves for days at a time. You don't know where he's gone or who he's with.
And you realise - if you looked back - you'd say to yourself:
DON'T LET HIM IN.
