He Said
by Amber Maccione
He is too young, they said
But I’m in love, I said
He is just using you, they said
But I’m in love, I said
You’ll wind up doing it alone, they said
But it’s our love child, I said
Don’t leave me, he said
You cheated, I said
How will I see my son, he said
Stop your foolishness, I said
I love you, he said
I love you too, I said
He is too young, they said
But I’m in love, I said
He is going to cheat again, they said
But I’m in love, I said
You will wind up broken, they said
But we’re a family, I said
I don’t want you, he said
But I need you, I said
Give me two years, he said
I’ll wait for you, I said
Let’s be a family again, he said
I love you, I said
Don’t believe him, they said
I trust him, I said
Once a cheater, always, they said
He has changed, I said
He will leave you again, they said
But I love him, I said
I found another, he said
Silence
We’re having a baby, he said
Tears
I’m going to marry her, he said
Weeping
Goodbye, he said
