I never meant to mean the thing I never knew would scare you
I did not think that you would take it quite the way you did
For a moment, I had even convinced myself that you would be glad
That you would look at me with that certain smile and tell me things that I had only before heard you say in my dreams
I did not thing you would threaten never to talk to me again
I will pay for my mistake; I will try to make amends
And I promise, I shall never do it again. Ever.
Never will I make that awful mistake
of saying those words, those three little words that had filled you with horror, that had widened the gap
I promise not to say "I love you" ever, ever again.
I promise
I promise
I swear.
