[title taken from the lyrics of All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) by Taylor Swift]
I can’t forgive you.
Because every time I said
“I really, really, really
like you,”
I was really saying
“I’m going to fall so deeply
In love with you that
I’ll finally be able
To understand love songs
And poems and,
those cheesy movies
I watched when
I was 13 years old and hurt.”
I was really saying
“on the ride home from our
first date, I played
the only Taylor Swift album
that I never understood
and smiled as I sang,
praying that you’d stay long
enough for me to write
the lyrics on your
birthday and anniversary cards.”
I was really saying
“when I met your friends,
they felt like home to me at last,
and I wasn’t scared for once
because they accepted me.
And I wanted to tell them
that I loved you,
that I was falling deeply
and strongly
and endlessly.”
But instead, I told them
“I really, really, really
like you.”
