i remember the day i took your hand
promises fell from your lips
like leaves from a tree
and i believed you

i remember the day you said three words
so freely, so openly
love without restraint
and i believed you

i remember so clearly the day we collided
two souls welding
like metals in a sword
you swore our fusion would never break
and i believed you

i remember the day you dropped my hand
swiftly, my heart snapping like a bird’s neck
my world crumbling before my eyes
and i couldn’t believe that i had ever
believed you
