i don't love you
as a matter of fact i don't want to love you
cause see love is a word that's been watered down through time
but this time there's nothing watered down about the way i feel about you
and like so many that have been in love the word love has been
used,abused,neglected,taken advantage of,lied to,cheated on and sometimes even forgotten
so i don't want to love you
see it used to be the word love could pump the break in a conversation and leave someone feeling utterly speechless
and now it's used to fill breaks in a conversation and put reason back into why you can't leave someone who's making you feel utterly useless
so you see i don't want to L.O.V.E. you but i do want to take those letters flip them backward and use them to spell the beginning of the word evolve
because i want us to grow into something indescribable by just one word
see i don't want to love you
but i do want to make you like my childhood best friend
so no mater how many times we hurt each other or beat each other up inside
i know we can always make up again
and i wana show you off to the world
the permanent connection so perfectly passionate that i can sit you on the opposite side of a jam packed arena look at you once and have everyone in there know your my girl
see i don't want to love you
but it's you i'm trying to find
i wana take every thought out on a date and say all the right things till the end of the night
and if i play my cards right maybe you can invite me inside....your mind
see i'm trying to take the i out of the i'm doing things for us cause there's no i in us so let's just do this for us
let us breath life back into love so we can put love back in our lives and bring the underdog back into the front of the race
cause see i'm trying to redefine love as more then us taking pictures together and posting them up to get more comments off myspace
you see we were made from love and that's all that will happen in the end
so by you making me re-believe in love you have helped me to find god again
and i know it sounds cliche but you have given me something to die for something to live for again
and if i said you made me a one woman man it woulden't be true cause you made me a one souled person
because even if i were to lose my mind and die and come back in another life time as a woman i could still only love you
so you see i don't want to love you
i can't love you
as a matter of fact i don't want to love you
cause this might not seem like much to most but your the biggest thing that's happened to me since i discovered poetry
and if there's anything a poet knows it's how to recognize truth and that's how i know it was meant to be
so you see i don't want to love you, i need to

for whom ever it is that i find in the future ;D (ladies i'm single) lol
