"You Deceive Yourself" in Young Romance #128 (1964) captures a quiet moment of emotional crossroads, where a waitress’s fleeting romance with a mysterious sailor collides with a more conventional proposal.

The cover by John Romita, with its expressive figures and poignant composition, perfectly mirrors the tension of the moment.
