Real love

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 I must put you down to build me up

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

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.

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.
