We say, "I love you"
but do we know what we say
We feel someting in our hearts
And swear it every day

We plan for tomorrow
But never today
We comfert each other
And wipe the tears away

Yet the day will come
when we know it's not true
We go our seprate ways
saying, "I love you"

And when the pain subsides
And our eyes no longer holds the dew
We say to another
"I love you"

I like what you're saying in this. That sometimes people fall in love too quickly and fall out of love as equally quick. And then they move on and say the same things to another person.

Nice write Matt, looking forward to reading more from you.

Are you scared? BOO! Are you now?

Very nice.  It's often a tad risky for a poet to touch on such a topic as the utter frailty of love.  Romantics might argue that love is indestructable.  But what do we really mean?

Indeed, it is a good question you raise.  

Constructively, I don't have any suggestions.  You didn't have a definite rhythm or flow, and that might be something you could consider in future works... but this does nicely without it.  Your use of rhyme compliments the themes very well.

I thought there was a rhyme pattern where the first and third lines, in each paragraph, don't rhyme, but the second and last do.  I must've been mistaken, I don't know to much of the rhyming patterns.
Thanks for your comments everyone, they were greatly aprieciated.
