Love Ain't Got No Buts

There ain’t no buts in real love

No
I love you but you need to change
I love you but I won’t marry you
I love you but I don’t want your kid
I love you but my wife won’t understand
I love you but I will smack you if you make me mad
I love you but you just don’t understand me
I love you but I love her, too
I love you but I want a divorce
I love you but let’s just live together
I love you but it’s just for tonight
I love you but I toss that word around
So that I can get what I want from you

There ain’t no buts in real love

Are you sure I didn't write this.. sounds just like words I've said a million times... and had said to me as many jillion times... :-)) good poem. lindalaw

No buts lead to action and not failure and rejection. Let the word fade out of existance for all I care, it just means unsureness too.

When you hear a "but" coming then you have to wonder just how sincere and honest a person is in a relationship. I enjoyed the honest simplicity to this piece. Great job!

Smiles,
Dorothy

Hi Nan, I read your poem ,"Love Ain't Got No Buts" found it true!
I married my wife who was a divorced woman with three kids in tow. I thought that this lady had enough "buts" in her life. So there weren't
any now, too. Keep up the good work! Please feel free to visit my site at www.freewebs.com/kendoo.

Yes, on all the above. Exactly! Might I add the one I've gotten,

"I love you but I'm not IN love with you."

Thanks for sharing this Nan.
