Love Is An Action

Did you really love me?

Did you love me when you took my first kiss?

Did you love me when you undressed me before punishment?

Did you love me when you put his head through a wall?

Did you love me when I had to visit him in the hospital from your actions?

Did you love me when you cheated on my mom?

Did you love me when you left and never came back?

He loves me

He told me happy birthday one time in years

He told me he thinks of me daily

He told me he cares

He told me he tried to be there

He told me that I didn’t know the whole story

He told me he loves me

So he loves me, right?

No, he doesn’t. Failed actions are not love. Your absence did not feel loving. I have never tied that word to you because I will never believe that you love me. You don’t leave the ones you love.
