Not Love

Love, I never knew what the word meant,
You acted as though you did,
But it ended up the same.
You claimed you loved me,
But I should have known,
You did not know what the word meant, either.
Everyone warned me,
That you would hurt me.
Did I listen, NO!
I should have though.
When you came into my life,
You brighten and lightend it.
When you first said "I Love You,"
I went weak in the knees,
And said it back.
Everytime we kissed I felt like I was floating in the clouds.
That is what I think love is,
But I guess that is not love!
