Requests From Someone Once Hurt

Please don't say you love me If you are conflicted about it inside Please don't make me believe those words Just because you'd rather not see me cry. Please don't promise me that we have forever When in your soul you know its not the truth Please don't make me put to be just your fool Please I beg of you because that too is abuse. Please don't kiss my lips so sweetly dear If at dawn I'll awake in our bed all alone Please don't tiptoe in silence while I sleep If you're done with our love, then let it be known. Please don't say you love me darling If your soul's fighting with your heart Please don't promises thousands of memories If our love's ending before it really starts. Please don't pull me into your arms so close If you only plan to set all my demons free Don't look into my eyes with such longing If at the end of your life, you can't see you and me. Please don't say the words I love you If the truth is that with me; it doesn't feel right Please, just give it to me as straight as you can Then by the time morning comes, I'll be out of sight. Please don't promise me forever if it's not real Don't get on one knee asking for my hand Just be honest not only with me but yourself If you just aren't into this; tell me, I'll understand. All I ask of you is a return of the respect I give to you Don't be afraid to tell me what's within your heart and mind Please don't lie just to gain what you currently desire Because I've been let down before so I know how to recognize the signs. But if the words of love you speak are really true By all means in the Earth allow them to roll right off your tongue Say them loudly or whisper them gently, either way is fine by my heart Don't be afraid for the world to know our love has officially begun. If your feelings for me are real Then kiss me as you never have another Don't hesitate to wrap me in your arms and whisper sweet nothings to me From once just youthful friends now turned into eternal lovers.
