I wonder how many of you have ever told someone you love them and not meant it but said only to reply to those words yourself or just felt a sudden rush of emotion that you percieve as Love but actually mis-read it. I wonder how many of you would admit you have, or do you consider yourself to be "perfect" and would never make such a mistake. Well think again.......
----------------------------------------------------

Wake up to the sun
Shining brightly in the dawning
After hearing the birds songs
Whistling sweetly in the morning.

Last few days have caused me pain
Made me suffer, drove me insane
At least I rose to the sun
And not the rain, yet again

My selfishness in Love
Weighed me down with heartache
But taught me a lesson
To not percieve Love as fake.

I recently met this girl
That I have needed for so long
Who will lift the weight off my heart
And correct all I have done wrong.

I snook off from my house
Met up with her at midnight
Cuddled and danced with her
In the guidance of the moonlight.

I fell in Love with her that night
With the stars shining bright
At least i didn't cheat Love
As now I rise to the sunlight.

Nobody is perfect
When Love is Concerned
You have to really mean it
Or else what have we learned!!!

I agree with you........What would have we learned if we just lied about something so powerful? Anyway, we'd only be cheating ourselves and our partner....
I thought the poem was great, and I do admit I've done it....I suck

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

To admit the truth does not suck, women like the truth more than faking it!!!!

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

hahaha..i know the feeling of doing it...gr...you know when you'rein love and you know when you just really really really like a person...but then the english language doesnt have enough words to describe half of our emotions...

Well, I don't think I've ever said it when I didn't truely felt it on purpose if that makes any sense...
I've said it because he's said it and I 'thought' I was in love - does that count?  I've also said it because I thought it would fix everything and I've also said it because there was nothing else to say, we'd come to the end and I thought that saying would make everything new.  As I am currently single, it didn't work.
I liked the poem though, very real.  As the song goes  "Saying I love you is not the words I want to hear from you, it's not that I don't want you, not to say it but if you only knew, how easy, it would be to show me how you feel, more than words, is all you heave to do to make it real, then you wouldn't have to say, that you love me, 'cause I'd already know, what would you say if I took those away, then you couldn't make things new, just by saying I love you."

Hmm... I'll admit I've done it, but not in a long time.  
But I will say that it's possible to fall both in and out of love, isn't it?  When we say "I love you" to someone and it is real, and then everything turns out wrong and it ends, can it be considered an act of cowardice to deny that it ever really was love?  To say "oh, it wasn't really love" just because it is now over?  
I think that it is important to be able to say that we have lied about this kind of thing, but under the right circumstances.  It shouldn't be used as a form of pride conservation.  
Oh, and I liked the poem.
