But Then I Did

I promised you that you would always be the only one in my eyes. You believed that whenever we were on our dates, I would never look at someone else. But then I did.

I promised you that you would always be the only one I ever texted and talked to on the phone. You believed that I would never respond to those who flirted at me. But then I did.

I promised you that you would always be the only one in my heart. You believed that I would never fall in love with someone else. But then I did.

I promised you that I would always be there for you every time you needed me. You believed that I would never leave your side. But then I did.

I promised you that I would always keep all my promises. You believed that I would never break them. But then I did.

I promised you that I would always accept what happened no matter what. You believed that I would never wonder how it would feel like if I were you, and if you were me, and if everything were the other way around. But then I did.

If I were you, I would never believe in anything I said.
