When I Said I Loved You

Do you remember the first time I said I love you?
Do you remember how you stopped in shock and stared at me?
Your desperation, despair, and fervor -
And as the heat of our passion rose
You insisted I say it over and over again.
I felt like I made a colossal mistake
For trusting you with my heart.
If I hadn't said it so soon
Would we have lasted so long?
Did you feel it gave you power over me?
Is that when you truly decided to use me,
Or was that when you convinced yourself
To try to be more
To try to live up to the words
That stumbled past my lips?
