Don't Tell Me You Love Me

Don’t tell me you love me,
Don’t mimic three words
Just because the calendar says that you should,
I don’t want Hallmark
To tell you what to say and when;
Don’t dress like the others
And fall into that line
Doing what’s expected, like drones;
Just do what comes natural
And tell me you love me
Just because it’s true

Don’t send me flowers
And chocolates with a red bow
Because the sign on the florist’s window says so,
I don’t want FTD to tell you
Which day my heart wants to know;
Show me how you feel
Because it’s Thursday … 
Because it’s August …
Because it’s 4:32 …
Because …
Just because you’re you

Wish me Happy Valentine’s
I don’t mind if you do
But it’s just another Monday
And I don’t care if it’s February or June,
Don’t tell me you love me
Because red signs are telling you to
Tell me you Love me
Just because you do
