Don't Say You Love Me

Here's how I play, here's where you stand

Here's what to prove to get any further than where it's been

I'll make it clear, not gonna tell you twice

Take it slow, you keep pushing me

You're pushing me away

Pushing me away...

Don't say you love me

You don't even know me

If you really want me

Then give me some time

Don't go there baby

Not before I'm ready

Don't say your heart's in a hurry

It's not like we're gonna get married

Give me, give me some time.

Don't Say You Love Me by M2M

While listening to this song I couldn't help thinking about how it may feel to hear someone tell you these words. I've felt this way too many times before. Which reminds me of another song called "Too Close For Comfort".

Was I invading in on your secrets?

Was I too close for comfort?

You're pushing me out

When I wanted in.

What was I just about to discover?

I got too close for comfort,

Driving you home.

Guess I'll never know.

Too Close For Comfort by McFly

This sounds like a response to "Don't Say You Love Me".

Now that I stop to think about it I'm starting to see... It has happened to me that a guy tried to love me and I pushed him away. I was feeling too much pressure. I could not explain it but I guess being loved can be overwhelming sometimes.

I've heard my friends say that a few guys had told them "I love you" when they didn't really knew them much. Love takes a lot of things. Love takes time. So why rush things? What has "I love you" become? Why do people say they love each other even when they know they really don't?

I know some people use the "I love you" line just to get to sleeping with someone but, what about the ones who don't? I've seen couples that have been together for like a week and they already say the love each other.

Once I felt I was in love, but it took me some time to get to feeling that. Now I'm not sure that was love, I still feel like it was and maybe it still is in a way, but I guess I'll never know what could have happened if he'd loved me back. Maybe I would have fallen deeper in love. Maybe I would have realized it wasn't love after all and I would have fallen in love.

All I know is that everytime someone shows what I perceive too much love for me without really knowing me too much I feel it's fake, so I end up pushing them away. Up until today I thought I had a problem. But maybe it's not a problem, maybe it's just knowing that love takes time and knowledge... knowing you can't belong to someone you have seen just once.
