You said that you loved me.
You said that we would rule the world together
when we were all grown up.
You said that we would get married
and live happily ever after
when we were old enough.

I said that I loved you.
I said that you brought joy to my life
in my darkest of times.
I said that I would love to get married,
that's a wonderful idea―
as soon as we're old enough.

I meant it with all my heart.
I guess you didn't.
But I'm sure you meant it
when you said the same things to him.
