I said I love you.

You said “I love you too.”

I didn’t realize,

we meant different things.

Not different things,

perhaps different ways

I said I love you.

I meant….

The moon and stars were your equal.

You were the sun,

that brightened my day.

That I would cover you,

in every way

I said I love you.

Because….

I believed in a vision.

I believed in a dream.

I believed in fantasy.

I believed we were right.

I said I love you.

When….

I didn’t know what else to say.

I didn’t want to fight.

I was selfish.

I was afraid.

I melted at the sight of you.

I said I love you.

If….

You smiled at me.

You screamed at me.

You cried for me.

You said you missed me.

You walked away from me.

I said I love you.

In….

My ordinary dreams.

My wandering thoughts.

My first words.

My worst moments,

My best moments too.

My lasting memories.

My final breath.

I said I love you.

You said “I love you too.”

I didn’t realize….

There was a difference at all.
