She asked him if he could

love

her. He told her he could.

She should have asked him

if

he would never lie.

We should have known.

I'm just like

you

and that

must

have been why.

He asked her if she would

stay. She said she would.

He should have asked if

she could never leave.

They both had faulted

but neither would take

blame

for their actions. Pity.

He won't. She won't.

Won't what? Go easy on

the heart.
