I Love You.

I Love You.
It's such a strong sentence.
Once you say it, it's either a new beginning, or the end of the world.
I don't know which it is for me.
I'm not really fond of that sentence, I love you.
I rather be told 'I love you.' on my wedding day.
Not annually by my boyfriend of girlfriend.
Yes it's nice to hear, but it's used to much.
I like you. But such a strong sentence as I love you, I don't feel comfortable saying.
I'll say it a few times, but don't take it the wrong way.
I don't mean to be rude, but sorry, it's the truth.

I love you.
It's used everyday, it causes such pain, and yet also shows affection.
How could such a simple sentence have such a strong effect?
I don't know, nor do I care.
How can people use this term so freely if it holds such power to it's meaning?
Can't we make up a new term, like, 'I adore you'.
Something meaningful, yet not as strong.
That be nice.

I love you.
Sure, I love you.
If that's what you want to hear, I'll say it to make you happy.
If you want to say it back, be my guest.
If you want to mean it, well that's a different story.
I can't promise I'll mean it, but if it makes you happy, I'll say it.
I love you, I can say it.
I don't know if I can mean it.
Call me cruel, call me evil, call me every name in the book.
I'll say it, hey, I'll say it a million times.
Will I mean it?
I honestly don't know..
Can't I just use another phrase?
Can we just make up something of our own?
Cause in the end, if I don't mean it.
I don't want you to get hurt.

Completely agree with this piece. 'I love you' can be a very powerful sentence, and it is thrown around too carelessly.

Beautiful words that flowed throughout the poem. The emotion that was throughout this poem was incredible. :)

Great job!
