What Love Isn't


"If you really loved me, you would make a better effort to spend time with me"

"Maybe if you actually acted like you cared, I wouldn't be so mad at you"

"If you honestly loved me, you would treat me differently than everyone else"

"Because you love me, you shouldn't talk to her"

"Maybe if you went to church, you would know how to treat me"

I said these things to you.

I'm so sorry.

That was not love.

I love you more than those hateful words depicted.

Can I start over?
