Saying I Love You

Someone tells you they love you for just being yourself.
They will spend their life proving to you that it is true.
A few years into the relationship, they want you to be someone else.
Did they not know who they were proving their love to?

Saying the words I love you may be a game, just for fun.
They are only words used by some to get their way.
After a while, they lose interest, and they are done.
It was a game that you were never taught to play.

Be mindful, make sure the I love you is meant for you.
Remember, if they start trying to change you...run!
If there is suspicion of someone else, it is probably true.
I hope you'll know when you've had enough fun.

Quoth Theraven Date: 10/13/2019 12:23:00 AM Sandra, I like the poem 'Saying I Love You'. I dislike the game I was never meant to play. Agreed change no one is meant to. Though hard when heart's are left astray. -Richard Login to Reply Sandra L. Weiss Date: 10/13/2019 12:31:00 AM Thank you Richard. Saying I love you, shouldn't be so easy and cavalier as it seems to be today.

Regina Mcintosh Date: 10/12/2019 11:15:00 PM Relationships can be difficult for sure. Some of them simply aren't meant to be. They're a lot of work, but hopefully end up better for the time spent. God bless you with the best, prayers, Gina Login to Reply Sandra L. Weiss Date: 10/13/2019 12:00:00 AM Thank you, Gina for your insight.They can be alot if work. To do the work, then years later...it was not meant to be. A difficult, but common situation.
