Once upon a time
When everything was simple
If one said “I love you”
They meant it
Forever and for always

You couldn’t take it back
Or stop the feeling
It was there
It was real
Forever and for always

You didn’t drift apart
Or change you mind
Because when you fell
You fell
Forever and for always

But now
Today
“I love you”
Means nothing more than
“I like you”

You may see me as cynical
Cold
Heartless
Or incapable of love
But that’s not true

I’ve just learned to see past the pain
The heartbreak
The tears
The “love”
And look past it all together

Once upon a time
I loved you
We were one
You said you loved me too
Forever and for always

And now
Happily ever after has become
I love you
Never
