I Really Did

I really did love you.

I didn't know you for a year,
yet we had only been friends for three months.
But it felt like forever.

I loved you.
I cried over you.
And I prayed.

I've been on my knees for you for days.

I still love you—
maybe not in the same way,
but I will always pray the same.

And I will be your friend forever.

If you text, I will answer,
even if you turn away again.

Because I promised.

And I will keep it.
