I said I love you
You said to stop
But darlin it's not that easy
When I loved you so much
I'm not sure if I could ever love again
But with tears in my eyes
As I walked away
I'll never forget that august afternoon
Cicadas sining as if in a dream
And I had brought you soup
Even though it was 89 degrees
Those words in my mind echoing
As you suggested things meet its end
A familiar sadness
As though it was an old friend
Came creeping in
And I smiled and laughed
Until your icycled words
Came spewing out
My heart froze
And within seconds any ounce of love I had
Was shaded red to a million pieces
I guess I love you can go away
Their meaning can change
Now I love you means
Don't text me anymore
Thank you for the lesson
You hurt me but I forgive you
But that doesn't mean I want a life with you
I love you means
We said goodbye
And I will never see you again and
But that doesn't mean I don't often think about you
And wonder
What I love you could have meant
If you had said it back
