I Don't Love You

I Don’t Love You

I don’t love you, but I care
Which side my bread is buttered
So I guess that now I’ll share
What before, I’ve only muttered

I don’t love you, but I should
Speak of my inner peace
And let you know that if I could
I’d purchase you, with a lease

That way I could return you
If things got a little too crazy
There is no doubt that I’d sue
If I went bonkers, or even hazy

I don’t love you, but I’ll say
You have changed me a bit
Every time that you try to stay
I feel a need to run and quit

I don’t love you, but then what is love
Just a silly inane emotion
You seem to fit like a glove
But cause such brainwave commotion

I don’t love you, but right now
I want to kiss and hold you tight
This seems to contradict somehow
Inside my brain there is a fight

I don’t love you anymore
Of that I’m truly sure
But denying you is such a chore
And I love your heart so pure

I don’t love you, or do I
Why deny it one more time
I guess you know, I’m the guy 
Who may just love you, in this rhyme
