love you dearly:

you say you love me dearly.
once upon a time,
i think i would have cared.
held your words in my heart,
he loves me he loves me he loves me
my mantra unending.
you say: ‘i love you dearly’.
i cannot hide my grin,
cuz everything’s so different.
your words are softly spoken,
but i don’t think you mean them.
i don’t think i do either…
you say: ‘i love you dearly…’
all i hear, instead, is:
i think i knew you once.
