Ever

Never and forever are opposite in definition,

but brothers in the time their promises hold:

Always

1.Eternally

2.Endlessly

3.Perpetually

4.Continually

5.Insistently

"I will love you forever."

A promise.

An Always.

So, when you said "I never wanted to hurt you."

Didn't that mean not ever?

Not:

for the time being.

What happened to that promise? That Always linked to ever.

That forever.

I never.

You never.

You broke that Ever.

What happened to the Always promise conected to your ever in forever?

How could you?

Why would you?

And your Ever in never, "I never wanted to hurt you."?

You may not have ever wanted, but you did.
