I love you. he said to her.
But he never meant it as IN love with her.
It started out normal, he waved, and she waved back. He smiled and she smiled back.He talked to her and she talked back.He asked her to hang out and she said yes.
She thought the relationship would be great.She thought her heart wouldn't break.She thought, she thought, but oh how she thought wrong.
He had a great time and so did she.He hugged her and she hugged him back.He asked her to hang out more and she replied with yes.
Oh how she thought, how she thought, how she thought.It would be great.It would be wonderful, fantastic, a dream.
He said he had a fantastic time and she agreed.He kissed her and she kissed back.He gave her gifts and she took them with a smile.
She never was selfish.She never was mad.It was always him, hidden under a mask.
He asked her to hang out more and she said always.He asked her to be his girlfriend and she replied with a yes.He asked her to move in with him and she said of course.
And he said, 'I love you.' and she replied, 'I love you too.'
Things were great, she thought.Things were wonderful, she thought, things were fantastic, things were a dream.But it soon turned terrible, she said, things turned unreal, things turned into a nightmare.
He started frowning as she smiled.He started ignoring her as she talked.He started not wanting to spend time with her as she wanted to spend time with him.
She asked him to hang out and he said no.She tried to kiss him and he would shove her away.She said their relationship was going good and he thought it was going bad.
She said 'I love you.' and he replied with, 'I don't love you anymore.'
She cried thinking it was her fault.She screamed thinking she caused the problems.She was silent thinking she wasn't good enough.
Until she realized it was his fault not hers.Until she realized he caused the problem not her.Until she realized she was good enough.
Everyday she told herself, 'I love you.'
