I love you; these were just words. It couldn’t be true. His messages seemed childish and it was an effort to hold her hand. He liked her long hair, but she cut it off. It couldn’t be true.
They were just words. It couldn’t be true. Her kisses were quick and she stiffened in his grasp. She always looked the other way. It couldn’t be true.

It was true. He loved her. Her short hair was truly beautiful, and his messages sincere. He longed for her hand.
It was a lie. She couldn’t love him. Every kiss was fake, and every hug for show. She longed to escape his grasp.
I love you.
They were just words.
