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