Don't Say It Unless You Mean It

A woman that is only asking that what he says is what he means and not just another way to play games when it comes to the matters of the heart.

Your words flow like a song from your lips to my heart,

So easy they come,

I’m afraid that as quick they will fade,

Like smoke rings swallowed up into the air.

I wanna believe the uttering you claim is from your heart,

But they seem just like words,

As if you are just an actor playing a part.

So I ask that you only say what you mean,

To mean what you say,

To not get carried away in the heat of the moment,

To not promise what you think I want to hear just to get your way.

Don’t group me with the others,

A thrill that you will in time forget,

Respect who I am,

Don’t play me for a fool.

Don’t say it unless you mean it,

Don’t throw around those words unless they are true.

I love the imagery in it and how it shows you want honesty in love and nothing more.

[Eagle Cruagh]

This sounds like a plea for honesty
in a relationship. A request for a lover
to be real.

An exquisite poem that sums up the need
for real love.
