We will remain faithful, keep our promises, and heed your word—do you even remember whose promises these were?

This couplet is steeped in gentle irony and quiet heartbreak. The poet simply quotes the beloved's past vows—promises of enduring loyalty, steadfast devotion, and sweet obedience—and softly asks if they even remember who said them. Without raising his voice or showing harsh anger, he captures the profound ache of realizing how effortlessly someone can abandon the promises they once held so dear.
