I LOVE YOU NOT... 

~ By Hope LoveJoy

 

I love you NOT because of what you look like. 

I love you NOT because we are alike. 

I love you NOT because of what you can do for me. 

I love you NOT because of something in you I see. 

I love you NOT because of what I need. 

I love you NOT because we have agreed. 

I love you NOT because of how you make me feel. 

I love you NOT because I think you’re real. 

I love you NOT because I want anything. 

I love you NOT because the thing to my life you’ll bring. 

I love you NOT because of the clothes you wear. 

I love you NOT because of the way you do your hair. 

I love you NOT because of the pain you’ve felt. 

I love you NOT because of the hand you’ve been dealt. 

I love you NOT because I am better with you. 

I love you NOT because of the life I went through. 

I love you NOT because it is my calling. 

I love you NOT because it will keep me from falling. 

I love you NOT because you’ve helped me be. 

I love you NOT because with you I’m free. 

I love you NOT because you’ll take my hand. 

I love you NOT because beside me you’ll stand. 

I love you NOT because I know what true love is. 

I love you NOT because of any of this. 

 

I LOVE YOU NOT because of some Divine Plan… 

I LOVE YOU..... 

BECAUSE I CAN!
