As I was leaving she hugged me
Kissed me then told me she loved me
Not really sure how to reply
My mouth responded with an “I Love You Too”
All the time in my mind, I knew that wasn’t true
I really do have feelings for her
But I can’t really say that I love her
At least not yet
But when she told me she loved me
And not wanting to hurt her feelings
I said I love you too
Is this a growing trend to abuse?
This I love you phrase
I must say I do like her
And want things to work out for the best
But I don’t like the pressure of saying
What Im not feeling yet
I want to tell her the truth
But I’ve already lied
It’s killing me keeping these thoughts inside
I don’t like telling lies
But with this one I didn’t even put up a fight
I am a good man
But if I tell her the truth she won’t understand
So I guess Ill continue to lie until
It becomes true
