I'll never forgive you.

And I'll never forget you, either.

I'll never accept you.

And I'll always perfect you, too.

I'll never love you again.

And I'll never leave you, either.

.

I'll never forgive you.

And I'll never forgo you, either.

I'll never outlive you.

And I'll never let you live without me.

I'll never withstand you.

And I'll never understand you, either.

.

I'll never forgive you.

And I'll never forsake you, either.

I'll never be low again.

And I'll never be below you then.

I'll never become you.

And I'll never ask you again.
