When She Says She Loves you

When a woman tells you she loves you,
She will utter it after hearing it several times but has never been able to come around it.

And you will pause as the crescendo to your laughter defies a new giggle clap.
And like anything else you will believe it because no woman has ever whispered these words onto a flower whose petals were clothed in soul.

When a woman tells you she loves you, she will cease to say it when the lights are on because you told her that like your past lovers, no one has ever embraced your beautiful in darkness  and how you always saw their lies clearly coated in guilt, dancing on the tip of their tongues.

And you will sit on the pavement near the parking lot where you first met, pushing the thoughts back and forth on how she always said it right after a romantic movie that was followed by a commercial on common sense.

Realising that your feet are haggard and covered in I-love-you, I-loved-you, I actually-never really-loved you I just wanted to feel the skin underneath your clothes scars.

When a woman tells you she loves you
She will walk away, leaving you loving the person she left behind which will no longer be the same you.
