This Isn't It
"I Love You"
That great!
What does that mean?
I don't know
I don't much about love
"I want to be with only you"
Oh.
Okay.
That sounds nice.
What else?
"Well...I want to be with you forever"
Forever...
That's a long time
That's the rest of our lives
Just us.
Just....us
"I...I want to have kids with you"
Oh
Then it won't be just the two of us
And we'll be busy raising kids and working
We won't be bored, at least
Is that it?
"I mean...I just want to be with you"
I want to be with you too
"Great..."
But not forever
I can't promise you that I won't find interest in someone else
Or that I won't lose interest in you
Can you promise me that?
"No, but..."
So if you can't promise me that
Then how do you know we'll be together forever
Are you lieing to me?
"What? No.."
I don't know
Because you lied when you told me
That she was 'just a friend'
So maybe I'm not the 'only' one you want to be with
"That was..."
I mean sure it was a 'mistake'
You were just young and immature
And maybe kids will make you grow up
But what if they don't
I don't think that that a chance I'm willing to take
"Okay, I messed up, but I mean everything. Don't you love me?"
I don't want any of this will you
I like you
But...I don't see any of this with you
You look shocked
Does it hurt hearing this?
That the difference between us
The truth doesn't hurt me
What hurts me
Is being cheated on
What hurts me
Is being lied to
What hurts me
Is empty promises
"Sometimes love hurts"
Sometimes
Not all the time
Thank you
I never knew what love was before you
"So we're good"
I never knew what love was
I still don't
But thanks to you
I know what it isn't.
