Look at me
Let me know, that I'm still there
Leave you be?
How can I, when I still care?
Look at me
Kiss me, just this once more
Tell that you be
In love with, me as before
But you should not say the words "I love you"
If they're not true
Oh you should not say the words "I love you"
If you don't do
Just look at me
Hold my hand, like you used to
Don't you see?
You're the one, I can't lie to
('Cause I don't want to)
I don't want to say the words "I love you"
If they're not true
I don't want to hear the words "I love you"
If they're not from you
How do I tell you?
How do I let you know?
That I still do
How I want to show
How do I feel you
When you're gone?
How do I kiss you?
It feels like I am already alone
But I should not say the words "I love you"
When I'm not sure if they're true
Oh, I should not say the words "I love you"
If they're not for you
Look at me
Let me know, that I'm still there
Want to be
Want to show, that I still care
How do you then say the words "I love you"
If they're not true?
Can you really say the words "I hate you"
When you know they're not true?
Author notes
I wrote this on the day my boyfriend and I broke up, but before it happened (a few hours before). I had given up, because I hadn't heard him tell me "I love you" for like one and a half month, but I told him to not say it if he wasn't sure, 'cause I didn't want to doubt if he meant it.
At the same time I held back from saying it to him, because he shouldn't feel guilty about not feeling the same way. It should have ended long before that, but I couldn't let go 'till then....
We are very good friends today, however

This is a very good poem. I like the meaning behinde it. The only thing truly worse then the person you love not loving you is for them to lie and say they do. If you go threw that once you may lose trust in people as I have. When people tell me that they love me I often think it is just to keep my quiet and happy. That is not keeping me happy because I can never really be happy. This is a very good poem and I am happy to hear that you and this boy are still good friends. Great job and good luck in the contest.

That is story is familiar to me (unfortunetely enough). It's hard to take a step forward when we don't know how the other side feels. I, personally, prefer to be told the truth than to be living in false hopes, that eventually will bring me nothing but pain.
Your poem/lyric is quite sad, the emotions are so clear that made me feel sad too.
But allez, let's shake the dust and look for better days
Kisses and love,
