I Meant It

I told you that I love you, and I meant it.
Did you?
I told you that I need you, and I meant it.
Do you?
I told you that I wouldn't hurt you, and I meant it.
Do you?
Obviously not, because you're not here while I sit on the edge of my bed just wondering . . .
Did you ever mean it when you said you love me?
Did you ever mean it when you said you need me?
Did you ever mean it when you said you would never hurt me?
I meant it.
But you didn't.
