I Loved You?

I loved you once, but not anymore. If there's no more love there, then it was never there before. You can't say you loved someone, truly mean it, then move on. There is no such thing as loving, then all of a sudden love is gone. "I love you, but I'm not in love" is a line so many use. It's a line wrapped with a lie to make the receiver feel confused. Instead of simply saying, "I don't want to be with you." They use that line because they know that pain can follow truth. Love can be a noun, but I know I prefer the verb. I want to SEE you love me, rather than the word only be heard. A concept so few get, or even really care to learn. Cause when that word was thrown out once or twice, instead of loved someone got burned. Very few heard "I love you" from me. Words rarely used. If I say it, then I mean it. A phrase I don't abuse. Love can be given, but not given back. Does that mean the lover lied? No. One day that love will be returned because the lover tried. Love is meant forever and will last if it is true. Whether apart or still together real love will stay with you. The ones who didn't deserve it needed your love more. It's not us who determines what our love's to be used for.
