he says
well you see, i've been talking to another girl
it's no big deal but just thought you should know
i say
yeah that's okay, you know i like this one guy too
and he makes my heart pound
he says
you still love me right?
i say
of course i do
it's all just fun anyway right
right
he says
yeah yeah just for fun
you know i wouldn't leave you
they say
that seems pretty fucked up
maybe you should cut it off
i say
haha, that's funny, actually it's just fine
it's an agreement, we've got it all worked out
they say
then why do you keep writing sad shit
about the one you love not treating you right
i say
because i'm sad with an overactive imagination
that's unrelated though
they say
bullshit
i say
no it's fine, trust me, he loves me
he wouldn't dare
he says
i kissed her
i say
okay
do you still love me
he says
well don't you have that other guy
the one you like a lot
i say
do you still love me
he says
you should go out with that guy more
i think it'd be good for you
they say
fucking run
i say
i can't, don't you get it
i just can't
he says
i just think it would be good for you
i say
do you still love me
he says
well if i'm being honest
i'm not sure anymore
they say
we told you so
i say
are you fucking kidding me
