I no longer wonder if I mean it.
I only wonder if he does.
He meant it before, or so he thought.
I always knew I was lying.
I looked away, I took it back.
I shook with fear, wishing I believed it.
Now I know for sure.
I'm afraid he doesn't.
I fear he feels the way I felt.
Numb and trapped.
Quietly feeling around for the exit.
