Love To Be Hated |

I've always believed people when they say they hate me They never have to prove it ...just say it Love? Now that's a different story Anyone who would tell me they love me would have to constantly prove it Maybe that’s why no one does I trust people who say they hate me implicitly She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Ahhh . . . You, my friend, have a very good point. I imagine more people are lying to you when they say they love you, than there are people who say they hate you. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

From my experience love has different meanings or reasons to come out of their mouths....james |

To say I began to write this piece facetiously would be true, but it didn't take long to come to the same realization as you JerryPat. One person in particular vowed "unconditional love". Unfortunately, that 'love' passed on 16 years ago. I'm not crying and I have no salve or seeds to sell. Don't get me wrong one and all. I believe in love as a God-given gift. It's the 'Turks' bearing gifts I'm most concerned with. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you James. I always enjoy hearing from you. 88's friends She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

My thoughts are that words are sometimes meaningless.I need to "Feel" the love as shown more than I need the words. The old poem by Sara Teasdale Simple though it is, reminds me of my belated husband.His "look" told it all. Kevin kissed me in the Spring, Robin in the Fall But Colin only looked at me and never kissed at all. Kevin's kiss was lost in jest Robin's lost in play But the kiss in Colin's eyes Haunts me night and day. [This message has been edited by latearrival (10-12-2015 09:18 PM).] |

The negative is always stickier. You have to have self-esteem of Teflon to be immune. I believe it is human nature. That is why kindness is so very important and mean people suck. I think we are meant to love as long as we live but relationships can have expiration dates. ~L |
