Quit Saying Those Words!

Quit Saying Those Words!

A Poem by Hope

Quit saying I love you!

Honestly, do you even know what you are saying?

Do you realize how many times you have said it?

Have you even sat down and thought about anything at all?

 

Quit saying I love you!

I will start saying to the dogs, 'I love you, baby.'

To the wild beasts I'll say, 'I love you.'

I will begin to say to the men who mistreat me, 'Oh, it's ok, I love you anyway.'

I will say to Satan, 'I love you' and expect him to change.

I love you does not mean I'm happy just being around you.

I love you does not translate to emptiness.

I love you does not go around to just anyone thinking but they're the one.

I love you does not, under any circumstance, betray just because they pay.

 

Love is not empty,

Love does not make a show before the whole world purely because of selfish pride.

Love does not shy away under pressure or melt away in the heat.

Love cannot disappear, love will never run away.

Love is simply beautiful.

 

When there are no more words to express the joy inside of us, that is love.

When problems come crashing down upon our heads, love heals us.

When giving up seems like the only option, love is there to aid in repairs.

Love is forgiving of wrongs-merciful.

Love gives room to those who are exhausted.

Love gives respect even when nothing makes sense.

Love does not always expect rewards.

Love does not walk back and expect recompense.

Love perseveres under trial

Love offers help with humility and truth.

 

Love is beautiful.

Wow. I thought this was very powerful and truthful. Some people just throw around those words without even thinking about it. Very interesting. Nice job. :)
