#74 Don't Tell Me You Love Me

This is a poem I wrote after my best friend, (now my boyfriend) told me he loved me for the first time. We both understood that "love" is a strong word and we rarely used it because at that time we weren't together yet so we didn't want to say anything we were unsure of.

This poem originally was published in Love Poems - Teenage Love Poems

Don't Tell Me You Love Me

by Love

Don't tell me you love me if you are not sincere
For a lie that strong can ruin my life and bring on a new fear.
Fear to be loved, fear to love ever again
It can cause my fragile heart to break, tear and bend.
Think of all in life that will be missed
because of one small broken promise
So, when I put all of my trust deep within you
Please don't tell me you love me, unless you truly do.

I liked this poem because I relate to it. Usually all of my ex-boyfriends would say "I love you" the same week that I would start dating them. Then I started dating my now-boyfriend and he told me "I love you" a little over two months that we were together and is the longest relationship that I've been with someone. I was so scared when he i love you and I told him not to say it unless he meant it and he said that he did, so I started crying and i told him that i loved him and he asked me why I was crying so I told him why. He told me he would ever hurt me and I started crying even more.
