He said I think I  love you.

I thought he might.

He said he loved me.

I knew he did.

He said he loved me.

He does doesn’t he?

He said no one else would ever love me the way he did.

I thought he must be right.

He said he loved me more.

I thought maybe he did. Maybe he could.

He got on one knee, proposed we love each other for life.

My heart sank but I said yes.

Months we planned, we invited family and friends.

I was scared. My uncertainty eating away at me.

He sat me down and said he didn’t know if he loved me.

I cried for the loss but not for the pain.

I left. I was grateful I still am.

For the next person who said I love you meant it and I meant it back.
