May I wait a little longer?

Words

Words mean a lot to me.
Promises mean a lot to me.

Because when you asked if I'd like to marry you and would be happy,
I thought of every reason not to, being an over-thinker.

But you said we'd fight it together.

Little did I know that my poems were just words to you.
Little did I know I was easily replaced in a weeks time.
Little did I know I would be disgraced and compared to her by your family.
Little did I know my mother would be begging you not to leave me.

I was late.

Because for me words mean everything. And it meant a lot more coming from you.

Because every time I said I loved you
I meant that I want to get married.
I meant that I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

It didn't mean that I"ll see how I feel later.
And it definitely didn't mean that I'll use the time to see if I liked someone else better.

I'm not the only thing thats ruined
But a family who believed me and my love.
