Don't Tell Me

A Poem by A Christine

August 2007

Don't tell me you love me if you don't mean it.
Don't tell me you want me and then say you don't.
Don't tell me you'll need me, and then say you won't.
Don't tell me I should stay, if you're gonna push me away.
Don't tell me I shouldn't, when you wish I would.
I guess what I'm trying to say is....
Don't tell me you love me unless you mean it.
Don't tell me you want me, unless you really do.
Don't tell me you need me unless I can truly help you.
I want you, I need you. I love you.
