I didn't realize

I didn't realize when you said "Goodbye."
you meant "So long, forever."

I didn't realize when you said "I'll write."
you meant "I'll probably be too scared and not contact you."

I didn't realize when you said "Here's my number- call me."
you meant "I want to leave the summer behind me; I may not answer or respond."

I didn't realize when you said "We will still be friends."
you meant it.
