I Mean It. Do You?

February 24, 2010
By Anonymous

Everyday your protecting embrace envelops me,
But if danger came would you protect me?

Everyday you talk of your of me,
But if I changed would you love me still?

Everyday you say we are friends,
But if I needed help would you be there?

When I embrace you,
It means I’ll protect you from harm no matter the cost.

When I say I love you,
It means I will stand by you and whoever you become.

When I say we are friends,
It means no matter where I am I will come to you.

So next time you say you love me, we are friends, or hug me,
Don’t bother unless you truly mean it.

People always ask me why I don't like hugs or say the words "I love you". This is why.
