The first time you said you loved me you didn't tell it to me. Instead you turned to the friend next to me and said, "You know, I love her because.." and you went on to explain why. I don't remember what you said exactly cos the friend and I were gaping at your usage of the word "love". And then you saw our looks and realised what you had said. So you went on smoothly like nothing happened, and the next time you took care to use the word "like".

You and I, we had such bad timing.
